Rafa Benitez releases statement after being sacked by Real Madrid

Rafa Benitez has released a statement following his sack as Real Madrid manager after just seven months and three losses. In a statement released on his website, the 55-year-old Madrid native thanked those at Real Madrid for allowing him to work at the club and wished his successor Zinedine Zidane luck for the future. Read the statement after the jump...
He wrote: 
"Now, at the end of my time as first team coach of Real Madrid, I would like to use this article to say goodbye to everyone at every level of the club. I want everyone at the club from the board of directors, executives, workers and all of the fans, know that it has been an honour and privilege to be in charge at this club where I grew up as a person, player and coach from the lowest categories through to the first team.
"As a Madridista from Madrid, steeped in the traditions and values of this institution, which I learned in the old sports city of Castellana, it has been an honour to work for these colours. I would especially like to thank everyone at the new sports city and the Santiago Bernabéu who since my first steps through the door have supported me and made my work easier. Thanks to all for helping.
"With all that I have said still in mind, I would like to wish good luck to Zinedine Zidane, my successor, and his staff. To all the players, coaches and staff in both Valdebebas and Bernabéu, I wish all the best and also good luck.
"With all my respect and thanks... HALA MADRID and NOTHING ELSE. "

    I'VE ALWAYS OPPOSED HIS MOVE TO MADRID. THE DEMANDS THERE IS SO HUGE AND WITH THAT STAR-STUDDED TEAM, ANY COACH CAN EASILY LOSE GRIP OF THE DRESSING ROOM

    He already failed before he could even settle down at the club, Cr7 doesn't like him. I begin to think maybe Ronaldo is the president at madrid
