Rafa Benitez is a dead man walking at Real Madrid, it has been revealed.
Marca says Saturday's home humiliation by Barcelona has "sentenced" Benitez. Either today or in June, Benitez will be sacked. He will not last long-term at Real.
The board has lost all confidence in Benitez and want swift action.
But president Florentino Perez would prefer to wait. This week he will speak with some players, Benitez and his confidants before making any definitive decision.
Several directors believe Benitez should be sacked this week over concerns he's lost the dressing room and his relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo being now "non-existent".
