I am not replacing Benitez – Zinedine

Real Madrid’s reserve team coach Zinedine Zidane has rubbished talks of him replacing Rafael Benitez as Real Madrid head coach. This development is coming after Barca went on rampage against the Spanish side scoring 4-0 in the first El clasico of the season. Real haven’t suffered such humiliating defeat at home by their fierce rivals since at 2009. There are reports that Benitez who has lost just once in his first 15 games in charge of the Blancos could be axed and replaced with the ex France international as the 12th manager.
Zinedine has claimed that nothing of such is happening. “I am the coach of the Castilla reserves. Benitez is the first-team coach and things are fine as well. I’m happy with what we’ve done today with the Castilla against a difficult rival. I stayed to train the Castilla. Last year I went away with the feeling that something was missing for me. I am stubborn and when the objective is not fulfilled it is necessary to do it.”
The French boss continued, “I have a lot to learn but a trainer is never [fully] prepared. I am doing this, like a player, little by little. I do no rush anything. The present is Castilla and we are going to continue like that.”
