Rafa Benítez (now unemployed)


Recommended Posts

Hope this is a great and final job for him. Imagine it would provide great life satisfaction to take one of the less fashionable Spanish sides, with a proud history and great potential, into the best period of their existence. Disfrute del viaje, señor.

Pleased he's back in the game managing a proper team in a proper League. Never felt right him working over in China, he should have been making an impact over here but fair play to him, it's his decision. Wish him nothing but the best, lovely man and someone who lives and breathes football

I long to be satisfied enough by something I've done to tuck my (fictional) glasses into a top pocket. What a man

That the match most pundits would have had us kicked out of the league for setting up to get a result, instead of setting up to get a hiding infront of a global audience

That was the season before on Sky, lost 0-1.

I know Athletic are meant to be our bffs in Spain, but I’m this close to nabbing a Celta top.

 

 

 


Your local Spanish top flight team I would think if you need a further excuse.

Anyone following La Liga enough to confirm what the table and results suggest; i.e. that it's gone fucking terribly for him so far at Celta Vigo? Another last minute defeat tonight (98th minute pen) and 1 win in his first 13. They appear to concede heartbreaking late goals like it's going out of fashion.

Just found this write-up; looks like they've been on the end of some rough calls.

Looked last week. Seem to lose a lot of games by 1 (Inc Real & Barca where they were unlucky). Wonder if the usual will happen that he'd do here and power on second half of the season.
