Benitez needs to win titles at Real Madrid, says Zidane
Madrid: Real Madrid legend Zinedine Zidane backed the appointment of Rafael Benitez as the manager, adding that the only way to win hearts at the Spanish club is by winning titles.
Benitez signed a three-year contract to replace Italian Carlo Ancelotti and Zidane said the Spaniard knows what is expected of him at the trophy-oriented club.
“The club has selected Benitez and it’s a good decision. You need to respect that decision. Benitez is a good choice, but what counts are results and titles,” Zidane was quoted as saying by Spanish leading news daily Marca on Tuesday.
“He (Benitez) knows the place well. He knows the challenge he has ahead. Only winning titles is good enough,” Zidane said.
Benitez has won La Liga twice before as manager of rival club Valencia.
Madrid has not finished at the summit of the Spanish league since 2012.
“It’s been a good experience. It’s a completely different job from working with the first team. We’re looking to get promoted,” he said.
“I decided to stay because Real Madrid is an amazing place and I want to contribute something important to this club,” the 42-year-old concluded.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
