Real Madrid have sacked Alejandro Menéndez as coach of the Castilla.
Menendez has paid for a poor first-half of the season, with the Castilla now mid-table in the Segunda B and well off the promotion places.
Real senior management believe the Castilla should be in the leading places and pushing for a return to the Segunda Liga this season.
Menendez has been replaced by Alberto Toril, who is promoted from the Juvenil A team.
