After arriving expectantly late for his own hastily arranged press conference, these are the best Florentino Pérez jokes as he announces that Real Madrid manager Rafael Benítez has been sacked and replaced with Zinedine Zidane.

The trigger-happy club president finally arrived and read a familiar-sounding statement as he appointed the eleventh head coach of his twelve year reign.

Whilst waiting for the inevitable, people made Florentino Pérez jokes:

So which one of Real Madrid's directors is eventually going to take one for the team and murder Florentino Pérez?

Perez grabs the mic. "Ain't axed a manger mid-winter in a spell, but first I got some gripes I gotta tell…." pic.twitter.com/dnP9Xb9zSX

Absolute scenes if Florentino Perez comes out and says Rafa Benitez is doing a great job & has the full backing of the board

Perez is 15 minutes late for his press conference. If only he waited this long before hiring Rafa he wouldn't have made such a big mistake.

Still no sign of Florentino Perez 30 minutes after the scheduled announcement. Not the first time he’s been late. pic.twitter.com/h7tVUhsR9g
