Benitez is one step away from being sacked by Celta

Only last summer, former Real Madrid and Liverpool head coach Rafael Benitez took over at Spanish side Celta, but the team's disappointing results could prompt the management to make a decisive move.

According to Marca, despite the baggage of trust, the club from Vigo may sack the 63-year-old specialist, if he this coming Friday will not win the match in the 27th round of La Liga against Almeria, which in the table goes on the last, 20th place.

Benitez himself is in no hurry to leave the club, having a solid financial contract until 2026. Apart from the money at stake, he doesn't want his return to La Liga to be a failure.

Not far from the outsider of the championship and Celta, which after 26 rounds is in 17th place, being three points from the relegation zone. In 31 matches at the helm of the team from Vigo, Benitez won eight matches (four of them in the Cup), nine matches were drawn and suffered 14 defeats.
