The Spanish coach will remain in charge of
the club despite increasing speculation
surrounding his position in the wake of
Saturday's 4-0 defeat to Barcelona
Rafa Benitez will remain in charge of Real
Madrid after being backed by the club's
president Florentino Perez.
Pressure surrounding the 55-year-old's
position at Madrid intensified on Saturday
following the 4-0 trouncing at home to
Barcelona, which saw the home fans boo
the players and wave white handkerchiefs
at the final whistle.
"We have had a board meeting and
analysed the sporting situation at Real
Madrid and Rafa has all our support and
all our confidence," Perez told reporters on
Monday.
"Rafa Benitez has all the ability and has
only just started his job here. Let him keep
working and he will achieve his objectives.
"The players did not lack attitude. The team
played badly but we cannot question their
attitude in such an important game.
"Rafael Benitez is the chosen one to bring
success to this squad that since January
has struggled and now more than ever he
needs the support of all of our followers.
"We offer full support for our coach who
will be capable of turning this situation
around. The team has suffered a
deterioration since January.
