Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, following the dismissal of Andre Villas-Boas.
With Andre Villas-Boas failing to live up to expectations at the Stamford Bridge, many believed that the Blues would look to land a manager who had plenty of experience in the Champions League and in the Premier League.
With Benitez being the only manager who was without a job, everyone assumed that the team would end up asking the Spaniard to come in and take over at the club.
However, the Blues ended up appointing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Di Matteo as their interim manager and the Italian is now going to be managing the team for the rest of the season.
Benitez has now come forth and revealed that he is still waiting for the right opportunity to present itself to him, but admitted that he was expecting a call up from the Blues.
The former Liverpool and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749, my family is settled here and I didn't have the right offer so far"
"I'm not worried about it, I need to find the right club and the right project.
"I heard a lot of rumours about Chelsea but I didn't have a proper offer on the table."
He then went on to comment on Manchester City’s situation, as he advised Roberto Mancini to avoid falling into Manchester United’s manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s mind games.
When talking about the title race and the battle between City and United, Benitez added: "As a manager you need to worry about your http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 and your team, not the mind games"
"People are talking about mind games with Man U and City. Both teams are very good teams and if City win their next match 5-0 people will say http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 is not affected by the mind games. If they lose it's 'oh, the mind games'.”
It is now a wait to see just where Rafael Benitez ends up and whether any club actually considers landing the Spanish Champions League winner or not.
