The new Blancos boss says he will need time to adapt to his role after replacing Carlo Ancelotti at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Rafael Benitez has pleaded for patience from Real Madrid fans, insisting that it will take time for him to make a real impression in his new job as the club's head coach.
The Spaniard admitted it was a dream come true to be handed the job when he was unveiled at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday, but he has urged the Madrid faithful to give him some breathing space as he looks to find the right formula.
