Real Madrid keep faith in Rafael Benitez

Real Madrid have announced their full backing for under-fire manager Rafael Benitez.

The Spaniard has not been a popular choice at the Bernabeu, and his popularity took an even bigger dip following Saturday’s crushing 4-0 defeat at home to Barcelona.
Real president Florentino Perez called a press conference for tonight which many thought could spell the end of Benitez’s reign, but instead the club has back the former Liverpool and Napoli boss.
“We have had a board meeting and analysed the sporting situation at Real Madrid. Rafa has all our support and all our confidence,” Perez said.
“Rafa Benitez has all the ability and has only just started his job here. Let him keep working and he will achieve his objectives.”
