RAFA Benitez has been sacked as Celta Vigo manager after less than a season in charge of the club
This comes after Celta Vigo’s 4-0 defeat against Real Madrid on Sunday.
The outcome of the match leaves Celta Vigo just one place and two points above the relegation zone in La Liga.
Benitez won only five of his 28 league matches in charge of Celta Vigo.
The 63-year-old was appointed last summer.
Celta thanked Benitez and his departing staff in a statement on Tuesday.
The Spanish club also highlighted their “honesty and professionalism” during their time at the club.
Benitez has coached the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle United and Real Madrid in the past.
