The situation of Rafa Benitez is not the ideal one and Real Madrid is already starting to consider names, precisely this week the option of Fabio Capello, a coach who knows the 'Merengue' club well and who at 69 years old could live his third period in the team, appeared.
The rumors from the Spanish press reached Capello's ears and 'Deportes Cuatro' contacted him to find out if Florentino Pérez, the club's president, had offered him the job of Madrid coach.
When asked about his return, Capello responded: "Is it a joke?" (then he couldn't stop laughing). No, no, no. I don't want to talk about this because it's a joke. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year," emphasized the coach who directed the Russian national team a few months ago.
Capello was twice champion of La Liga with Real Madrid (1996/97 and 2006/07) and if he were to return, he would be one of the oldest coaches to take charge of the team.
