Real Madrid
team B manager, Alvaro Benito, has been sacked for making negative comments
about some of the club’s team A players on radio and television.
Raul Gonzalez, former
Ballon D’Or winner and skipper of the senior team, was announced as Benito’s
immediate replacement.
Despite having guided the
team B to the second spot in the table, only behind Atletico Madrid and that
too with a game in hand, Benito lost his job because of his words after Real
Madrid team A lost to Barcelona in what was a must-win encounter at the Copa
del Rey semi-finals.
Benito, who also serves as
a football analysts on several broadcast stations in Madrid city, reportedly
said after the El-classico game: “Vinicius is a blessed irruption, has
surprised us all. The problem (in the game against Barcelona) is that there are
players like Casemiro who shouldn’t play a minute, and Kroos too.”
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.
With Benito’s exit, Raul
Gonzalez, a Real Madrid legend during his playing days, was promoted as Team B
coach from team C.
