Zidane replaces Benitez as Real Madrid coach

Rafael Benitez has been sacked as manager of Real Madrid after just seven months in charge, with club legend Zinedine Zidane replacing him.
Spaniard Benitez, 55, was relieved of his duties following a meeting of the club's board on Monday.
Real's B team coach Zidane, 43, has been promoted to first-team boss.

The Frenchman, a former Real player and World Cup winner, said: "I am going to put my heart and soul into this job so that everything works out well."
His first match will be against Deportivo La Coruna at the Bernabeu on Saturday.
