Rafa Benitez has released a statement following
his sack as Real Madrid manager after just seven
months and three losses. In a statement released
on his website, the 55-year-old Madrid native
thanked those at Real Madrid for allowing him to
work at the club and wished his successor
Zinedine Zidane luck for the future. Read the
statement after the jump...
He wrote:
"Now, at the end of my time as first team
coach of Real Madrid, I would like to use
this article to say goodbye to everyone at
every level of the club. I want everyone at
the club from the board of directors,
executives, workers and all of the fans,
know that it has been an honour and
privilege to be in charge at this club where
I grew up as a person, player and coach
from the lowest categories through to the
first team.
"As a Madridista from Madrid, steeped in
the traditions and values of this institution,
which I learned in the old sports city of
Castellana, it has been an honour to work
for these colours. I would especially like to
thank everyone at the new sports city and
the Santiago Bernabéu who since my first
steps through the door have supported me
and made my work easier. Thanks to all for
helping.
"With all that I have said still in mind, I
would like to wish good luck to Zinedine
Zidane, my successor, and his staff. To all
the players, coaches and staff in both
Valdebebas and Bernabéu, I wish all the
best and also good luck.
"With all my respect and thanks... HALA
MADRID and NOTHING ELSE.
