Benitez gets vote of confidence from Real Madrid president

Real Madrid have given under-fire coach Rafael Benitez a vote of confidence and said he will remain in charge of the team.

Club president Florentino Perez said at a press conference on Monday evening, following a board meeting held in the wake of Real’s 4-0 thrashing by arch-rivals Barcelona in Saturday’s El Clasico meeting in Madrid, that Benitez has “all our support and confidence”.
