Football News: Inter Milan manager Rafael Benitez sacked via email to lawyer; Leonardo front man for job
The latest news from San Siro has been brought forth and has revealed that former AC Milan manager Leonardo is even closer to Inter Milan’s managerial job.
Omens have indicated that Spaniard Rafael Benitez is no longer a needed man at the Black and Blues of San Siro. After a steady stream of disappointing performances, Benitez is probably going to be hearing the sacking orders twice
this year.
Reports have indicated that the former Liverpool manager will be fired before the start of this year. Rafa came from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 this summer where he was earlier canned after poorly managing the Merseyside club.
The same story has been unravelled with the Nerazzurri, though misfortune and fate had a role to play yet again. It was injuries rather than financial troubles that have plagued Rafa’s campaign so far.
And now, which the issuance of the ‘sack me or back me’ ultimatum - post Inter Milan’s recent 3-0 victory over Mazembe in the FIFA Club World Cup, where the manager asked for Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti’s support in the
upcoming transfer market - it is expected that he will be relinquishing his post soon enough.
Though earlier the Inter board had shown trust in him, Rafa wasted all opportunities as he axed his own foot by making some rather controversial statements.
Rafa has certainly conjured a cocktail of dilemmas with the Champions League winners from last season. He has been at it with nearly all chiefs of Inter.
Even though Massimo Moratti has been unable to provide a clear picture on this issue, he has reiterated that no immediate action will be taken.
Reliable sources have revealed that Benitez has actually been sacked already, as an email has been sent to the manager’s lawyer informing him that the services of his client are not required by Inter anymore.
This entire saga has left the former Rossoneri manager, Brazilian Leonardo to become the front man in taking over the reins of managing the defending champions of the Serie A title. Some experts have predicted Leonardo to sign
a 2-year deal with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 to construct a better visage for the ailing Italian outfit. Moratti has, however, denied contacting Leonardo for taking up the Inter managerial post.
"I haven't had a way of talking any other coach. I haven't met Leonardo," he said.
Benitez’s agent http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-c23383 Garcia Quilon, meanwhile, has made it clear that the coach is looking to rescinding the contract between the two parties.
“We are negotiating with Inter to rescind the contract. We have not yet reached a definitive conclusion. Tomorrow we will meet again and continue with the negotiations to find a solution."
