Former La Liga scout Terry Gibson has warned Real Madrid players that things are about to change at the club, as Rafael Benitez prepares to take over as manager.
The current Napoli boss is widely expected to replace Carlo Ancelotti as Madrid manager following his announcement that he will leave Serie A this summer.
Gibson expects the style of football to change under Benitez, and has warned the players that they must get used to his man-management.
He told Sky Sports News: "He will make them a very solid team. He has a fantastic mind, a tactical brain and he loves to be out doing the tactics on the training pitch. It will be about making the team very solid at the back.
"But his aim will be to do that while playing fantastic football and keeping Ronaldo happy, getting the best out of [Gareth] Bale and accommodating [James] Rodriguez.
"Rafa is not an arm round the shoulder, let's be friends kind of guy. He will do things his way, he won't make anybody feel special in that sense, there is a bit of coldness about him. You just have to keep the players happy and their egos as well."
Madrid finished second in La Liga this season.
