Rafa Benitez has released a statement following his sacking as Real Madrid coach by Florentino Perez on Monday, January 4.
The coach did not attack anyone in his message but was utterly grateful for the chance afforded to coach the team.
In a statement released on his official website, rafabenitez.com, he also wish the man who replaced him; Zinedane Zidane the best as he coaches the most expensively assembled team in football.
The statement reads thus: “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 were 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.”
Benitez was appointed as coach of Real Madrid in the summer of 2015 after leaving Napoli who he spent two years with and won two trophies.
He replaced Carlo Ancelotti who was sacked for failing to win any major titles at the end of the 2014/2015 season.
