Real Madrid sack Carlo Ancelotti

Rafael Benitez, Napoli´s boss, is the favourite to take over the vacant role once the Italian season comes to an end.
Madrid´s Club president Florentino Perez, told a news conference it had “not been an easy decision” before thanking Ancelotti, and adding that a new manager would be appointed “next week.”
