Real Madrid Sack Coach for Criticizing Team on Radio

By Daily Sports on March 2, 2019

Real Madrid have sacked youth team coach Alvaro Benito after he made negative comments about their first team on a radio programme during Wednesday’s 3-0 defeat to FC Barcelona.

The defeat was in a Copa del Rey semi-final second leg match.

In a statement released on Twitter on Friday, Benito said: “I respect the decision of the club, which I have always defended when appearing in the media. I always felt able to speak freely about the club I love.

“I leave with no resentment and will always be grateful to the club for everything it gave me as a player and in my first steps as a coach.”

Real Madrid did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

According to Spanish media reports, former Real Madrid striker Raul Gonzalez will succeed Benito as coach of the under-18 team.

During Real Madrid’s 3-0 defeat to Barca, Benito singled out midfielders Toni Kroos and Casemiro for criticism in a scathing assessment of the European champions’ performance on radio station Cadena Ser.

The defeat had seen the team exit the competition 4-1 on aggregate.

“The problem is there are players that are playing very far from their level,” he said.

“I’m talking about Casemiro who at the moment is not good enough to play even a minute for Real Madrid. Kroos is fantastic when the wind is in his favour, when it goes against him he abandons ship.”

Cadena Ser confirmed Benito had been sacked for his broadcast comments. (NAN)
