Real Madrid have announced Zinedine Zidane as new manager.

Zidane takes over from Rafa Benitez, who lasted just seven months in charge at the Bernabeu.

Word that Benitez was going to be sacked began to spread early on Monday. On Sunday, his side drew 2-2 with Valenica at the Mestalla, that result proved the final nail in coffin for the 55-year-old.

At a press conference on Monday evening, Zidane was unveiled.

The Frenchman most recently spent time as manager of Real Madrid Castilla, the club's B-team.
