RC Celta announced this Tuesday the dismissal of coach

Rafa Benítez

because under his direction the team "has not obtained the results expected" by the club chaired by

Marian Mouriño

.

The Madrid coach arrived at Balaídos last summer as a strong bet from the new president for the Centennial season.

He signed a contract for three seasons, but the poor dynamics of his team, with only two points ahead of relegation, has accelerated his departure.

Celta thanks Rafa Benítez and his assistants for their "involvement, honesty and professionalism" since his arrival in Vigo, in addition to wishing him "a lot of luck and success" in the future.
