Real Madrid sack Rafael Benitez, set to be replaced by Zinedine Zidane

Real Madrid have made the controversial decision of sacking head coach Rafa Benitez after the club's unimpressive 2-2 draw against Valencia last night. The club had endured a poor set of results under the Spaniard and fans not happy with the team's defensive style of play, the club has moved quick to sack the former Liverpool and Napoli coach to replace him with club legend Zinedine Zidane.

Zinedine Zidane is expected to take over first team duties as the club's head coach.
