Reports are suggesting that Real Madrid will hold a board meeting today to discuss Benitez and whether he continues at the helm. 

The future of the former Liverpool boss, appointed at the Bernabeu in June last year, has come under close scrutiny in recent weeks and the 55-year-old once again had to face awkward questions about his job after Sunday night's 2-2 draw at Valencia. 

Zinedine Zidane is reportedly to replace him, with Santiago Sori apparently to be the assistant manager.
