I cannot access the specific content of that particular URL. However, based on the search results available, here is a summary of the situation regarding Rafa Benitez at Panathinaikos: **Rafa Benitez's Position at Panathinaikos** Rafael Benitez is reportedly on the verge of being sacked from his position at Greek Super League side Panathinaikos, just four months after signing a record-breaking contract[3]. The 65-year-old manager was made the highest-paid head coach in Greek Super League history when he joined the club in October, earning £4.4 million per season[3]. **Current Situation** Benitez's tenure has been problematic, with Panathinaikos currently sitting fifth in the league table, 16 points behind leaders AEK Athens[3]. Behind the scenes, there is reportedly a "dressing room revolt," with players unhappy with his pre-match preparations and tactical approach[3]. Some believe there is insufficient tactical analysis to help them prepare for opponents[3]. **Critical Juncture** Following a recent draw against AEL, Benitez's position has become "untenable"[3]. His future at the club will be determined by Panathinaikos' next two matches against Viktoria Plzen and OFI[3]. **Potential Replacement** Should Benitez be dismissed, Panathinaikos has already identified **Igor Biscan**, a former Liverpool defender, as his potential successor[3]. Biscan played under Benitez at Liverpool and was part of their 2005 Champions League-winning squad[3]. Talks between the club and Biscan have reportedly already taken place[3]. Biscan's most recent managerial role was with Qatari side Al Ahli[3].
