Why ? The papers have linked us with almost every single coach out there in europe and italy. Benitez, prandelli, Deschamps, spalletti, del neri even donadoni for god's sake !!
It is clear that no one (from the journals) really knows who we're going after. Its all paper talk and rumors at this point. Thats why i just don't think that they know if Benitez have turned us down or not at this point. So its still wide open.
Honestly i don't care if Benitez is coming here or not. To me, the most important signings this summer are the directors. Once we hire the right people up there then the future will look much brighter for this club.
