Fabio Capello said he was unsurprised by the turmoil at former club Real Madrid, suggesting it is hard to understand from the outside looking in.
Capello coached Real Madrid in two separate spells, first in 1996-97 when he won La Liga, and again from 2006-2007 when he captured a second league title in as many seasons at the club.
"You need to understand what happened. It is difficult to speak unless you know what happened inside the team and the club," Capello told Omnisport.
"I prefer not to speak about this but it is clear they have difficulties at the moment."
"All the people in Spain think the president supports him [Benitez], but it will interesting for Zidane because he manages the second team, which is very important to understand what he needs to do," Capello said.
"It's very different as a manager. It's possible that he'll be the next Real Madrid manager. I also think Rafael Benitez will finish the season."
