http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rafael-c30339 Benitez offered managerial post at Atletico Madrid – La Liga news
Former Inter Milan tactician, Rafael Benitez, has been linked with a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 as he is considering
a return to the English Premier League before the start of the new season.
The 51-year-old mentioned that he does not want to ponder over these things at the moment and wanted to enjoy his holidays. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 manager is currently on vacations with his family and would only make a decision once he returns, and is ready
to take up the managerial duties.
Reports suggested that one of the Premier League clubs seem interested in the appointment of Benitez and it is likely that the Spaniard would go with that option if he gets an opportunity to choose from.
Benitez’s six-year reign at Anfield ended in 2010 after the club finished seventh in that particular season and lost their UEFA Champions League place. The coach came under heavy criticism and finally left the club making way for former Fulham boss, Roy
Hodgson. The Spaniard was made the coach at Inter Milan replacing Jose Mourinho but had a torrid time in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926.
He was also involved in a spat with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 officials regarding the transfers that were taking place at that time. Benitez did manage to lead Inter to a win in FIFA Club World Cup but left San Siro eventually in just a few months without even honouring
a two-year deal with the club.
Benitez admitted to his affection for Atletico Madrid in spite of having managed their rival club http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid’s youth outfit. He mentioned that Atletico have always attracted him and he would certainly consider their offer for the coaching role.
He concluded by saying, “I have always had sympathy for Atlético Madrid, because, among other things, I have http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Friends-football-club-c39381 there and my father always liked Atlético. He said he was going to support Atlético Madrid ahead of Real and I have always had much sympathy
for them since. The team has always seemed spectacular, especially their fans.”
The former Liverpool and Inter Milan boss will be back from vacations in a few days time and only then will he decide his future.
