Benitez is the best of a bad bunch for Mourinho takeover

Real Madrid's members cannot decide who should take over from Jose Mourinho. Despite two thirds of those asked agreeing that the behaviour and attitude of the Portuguese coach is damaging the club's image, they know it will be difficult to replace him.

According to the survey carried out by the company Sigma 2 for Marca, not one of the potential replacements for when Mou confirms his decision to leave at the end of the season reaches 25% of support amongst those polled.

Chelsea manager, Rafa Benitez, is the coach with the highest level of support in the survey, but with only 21.4% of the votes he is a long way from becoming a strong candidate to take over. What is true is the Madrid born coach who came up through the club's youth system is the favourite amongst the over 65 year-old supporters, amassing 27.5% of their vote.

German coach, Joaquim Low, is second favourite on the fan's list. He polled 19.5% and came ahead of Swansea's Danish coach Michael Laudrup who attracted 15.6% of the votes.
