The Spanish La Liga giants appoint former Ballon d’Or winner and skipper, Raul Gonzalez, as the new manager and Benito’s replacement.
Despite guiding the team B to the second spot in the table, behind Atletico Madrid, Benito lost his job because of his statements after Real Madrid team A lost to Barcelona in what was a must-win encounter at the Copa del Rey semi-finals.
Real Madrid sacked its team B manager, Alvaro Benito, for making negative comments about some of the club’s team A players on radio and television.
Marca reports that the above comments on some of Real Madrid’s senior players did not sit well with the club management; as a result, he was evicted from his managerial role at the club’s team B.
