Madrid have a possible substitute for Benítez...and its not Zidane!

Real Madrid could look towards the 'Director of Training’ Víctor Fernández, who works in their youth academy, and has won a Copa del Rey and UEFA Cup Winners Cup with Zaragoza. Although his experience on the bench hasn’t been very lucky recently, he is a manager with a very reputable name.

Could he take charge after a hypothetical demise of Benítez as a caretaker until a concrete decision is made? Fernandez has made it clear over the years that he is in favor of attacking football, sometimes even too attacking, so it could bring a welcomed change.

However it would go against everything that Rafa Benítez has been building on this season, who has worked hard to keep clean sheets. 

Another positive in favor of Victor Fernández is that he has a good ability to manage egos, a quality that is more than needed to have success at the Berabéu.

He could act as a good bridge between Benítez and Zidane, if the Frenchman decides not to take half way through the season.
