Benitez has not won the english championship. He has come close once. WHilst spending throughout his tenure a huge waste of money. I see no players who have truly developed into better players under his tutelage. None. his best buy...Toress, was ALREADY world class. He has somply continued where he left off, in Spain. The others...no, no development, no improvement. Gerrard is in the period where a world class player should be peeking, and he has been for the last year or three...again, this was VERY evident, BEFORE Benitez arrived in scouseland.
His victory in the champions league was the luckiest I have seen of any team, in 15 years of watching champions league/european cup football. Not just in the final, for that was a wicked show of spirit, I mean HOW THEY GOT THERE...Also, to win in such a way against a german team, is VERY ODD, almost magical and unfathomable...or...extremely LUCKY.
He gets very easily riled by other managers. Never seems like a man who could be respected as a Boss of Men. HAs shown little tactical speciality in the time I have seen his Liverpool in England...and is coming off a terrible season. This is important to me. For the worst thing about our club is the spirit, the heart, the form of mind and soul...we need a Warrior. Not a recent loser, trying to regain his stride. We need a man who can demand better, demand the very best of ourselves, for its clearly what he demands of himself and all others he works with...this man, is not benitez.
there are many more coaches than allegri and prandelli and benitez.
