Sarri is not the only one who ended his coaching tenure on Tuesday. The former Liverpool and Real Madrid boss won't continue with La Liga strugglers
Celta Vigo has decided to sack Rafael Rafa Benitez with ten La Liga games to go, as the team is just two points above the relegation zone.
The former Real Madrid, Liverpool, Valencia, Napoli and Chelsea boss was brought in as the star name to take Celta forward as the Galician side celebrated their centenary year, but things didn't turn out as planned.
According to reports from Spain, what kept him in the dugout for some time was the huge pay-off Celta had to commit to by sacking him, reported at around €9m.
As per Relevo, B-team coach Claudio Giraldez is a favourite to take over from Benitez.
The same outlet had reported that there were disagreements between Benitez and the players in recent weeks about the style of football they were playing, and for months now, Balaidos has chanted for Benitez to leave the club.
