Real Madrid set to sack Benitez with Zidane ready to take charge

Rafa Benitez is facing the sack as Real Madrid hold an emergency meeting to decide his future on Monday, according to Marca.

Madrid president Florentino Perez will head a meeting at the Bernabeu this afternoon with Benitez present to decide whether or not the former Valencia, Liverpool, Inter, Napoli and Chelsea boss will be dismissed.

Zinedine Zidane, who is currently coaching the club's Castilla side, is reportedly in the frame to replace Benitez.

Madrid currently sit third in La Liga after Sunday's 2-2 draw with Valencia.
