Rafa Benitez will be sacked by Real Madrid if they the first Clasico of the season against Barcelona on Saturday before Zinedine. Zidane is appointed as the new first team manager, according to Mundo Deportivo.
The Spanish newspaper have come out with this extraordinary story the day before the biggest game of the season so far with Benitez under intense pressure despite only one defeat this season.

The timing of that defeat (right before the international break) didn’t help the mood at Madrid. Players are already said to be unhappy that the former Liverpool boss is in charge. Now Florentino Perez is considering a change. He was once a big fan of Benitez. He thought that the Madrid old boy had the no-nonsense attitude that would get the best out of the squad, an attitude Ancelotti doesn’t have.
