The Serie A club, Inter Milan, has confirmed that Rafael Benitez has left his responsibility as a manager of Inter Milan after an agreement was signed to terminate the contract. The Italian giant parted ways with Rafael Benitez just after six months of his
appointment. Sky Sports reported that the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 manager was sacked on Tuesday evening following the ever - increasing speculations on his future.
The Italian media reported that Rafa was sacked on Wednesday December 22, 2010. Rafa previously managed FC Liverpool and dragged the squad to the winning spot in 2005 when Reds won UEFA Champions League - the highest honor in the European club football.
Liverpool finished second best team in the 2008 - 2009 Barclays Premier League chart. Although Rafa’s slate was quite clear at that point but since his appointment as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 manager, his stay with the club had not been so calm since the very beginning. He replaced
Jose Mourinho in June 2010 and was sacked just after six months. The 60 - year - old Spaniard enjoyed a good repute in world football and was quite famous for his calculated tactics.
The feud between the manager and the Italian club reached the point when Inter Milan won the FIFA Club World Cup and in a press conference, Rafa gave reckless statements against the players for taking their decisions on their own and club management for
not supporting him for the transfer market. His outrageous statements flared up Inter Milan president, Massimo Moratti, who in turn wrote to Rafa and asked for the justification. Even though the verdict to dismiss Rafael Benitez could cost 10 million Euros
to the club but Inter made the decision nevertheless. The club’s official website www.inter.it states, “Rafael Benitez and Inter Milan are in a position to announce a statement that they have reached the mutually satisfactory agreement to terminate the contract
early. Inter is thankful to Rafael Benitez for his commitment to lead the team to win Italian Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.” After winning the Club World Cup, Rafael fired a statement at the club saying, ‘back me or sack me’ and when asked, Moratti refused
to comment.
