Florentino Perez once again backs Rafa Benitez, speaking on Cadena Ser Radio. "Benitez will not be replaced by Zidane. Although some media have agreed on that, the coaches are appointed by the club and Benitez will not be replaced neither by Zidane, nor Mourinho nor anyone. Has come to solve a problem and he is the solution, not the problem," assured the Real Madrid president. “Benitez is capable of solving the problems we have,” said Perez. “That’s the only option we’re considering."
“Nobody can predict the future but right now Mourinho is not going to come to Madrid. We have very good memories of Mourinho, he raised our competitive level (when he was manager).”
