Ranking Florentino Perez's Shortest-Serving Managers at Real Madrid

After seven months in charge at Real Madrid, Rafa Benitez will join Jose Mourinho, Brendan Rodgers and, er, Tim Sherwood on the proverbial manager's substitutes bench.

The former Real Madrid Castilla coach was replaced by the most recent Castilla coach Zinedine Zidane following a season in which he won 17 of his 25 games in charge (as per Squakwa), scoring a league-leading 47 goals in the process.

In his two tenures as club president, Florentino Perez has hired 11 managers, only three of whom have last more than a season.

In that time, he has also invested over a billion Euros in transfers for a return of two league titles, a Copa Del Rey and two European Cups (as per The Telegraph).
