Welcome to Inter Rafa Benitez..

I'm one of the guys you will have to prove to that you are worth Inter bench, but you have 2 years to do so, so welcome and do your work..

P.S. I would really like to get David Silva.. He can really play Barca-like football.. I want us to be more dominant on the field, and he can deliver that option.. So I hope there is some truth in these rumors..

Oh yeah David Silva, Aguero, Di Maria.... and we ended with fucking Forlan 40 years old, Lazio trash like Zarate, Hernanes, Rocchi, Jonathan the "new Maicon"... ffs im sure Inter was again one of the best teams today like Juve..

Benvenuto Rafa!

The perfect coach to continue building on our success, all we need to do is buy the players in the right places and from next season we'll not only be winning but we'll be playing better football than we already do. This is the right signing considering the fact that we need continuity, Benitez plays 4-2-3-1 and therefore he is the perfect coach for the job. Good Luck Rafa, let's take the WORLD!

P.S I know that a lot of you guys aren't happy about Rafa coming but now let's give him our full support, if he fails feel free to give him hell but now he's with us so let's support him

We should have, indeed, but we didnt. Benitez had the same team that won the treble, except sans Balotelli + Coutinho and Biabiany

He might suck, but big clubs keep going for him.

Grande Big Ben!

Former Real Madrid coach blames Perez for lack of success

Having sacked several tacticians after short spells in charge, Rafa Benitez has labelled the Galacticos boss as the reason for Madrid falling behind Barcelona
by Gazzetta World Staff

Real Madrid fans need look no further than President Florentino Perez for the La Liga side’s failure to add to their trophy cabinet in recent years, according to Rafa Benitez.

Given just half a season to turn around Los Blancos after an unsuccessful 2014/15 campaign, being sacked by Los Blancos has led the Spaniard to believe that everything was against him in Madrid.

“The president [Perez] is always around, glued to the players and the press, so is not easy for a coach,” Benitez told BT Sport.

“Obviously we expected to improve on last season so trained harder but the players were nervous, as were the fans and the president. In the end they just sack the coach.

“In recent years it hasn’t been easy to be Real coach. You have to do everything perfectly, just one thing goes wrong or the president thinks you’re wrong in some way and there are problems.”

Choosing not to mention Perez’s name throughout, the former Liverpool coach made clear his belief that the 68-year-old’s current seven-year tenure has coincided with a lack of success compared to treble-winning rivals Barcelona.

“Stability is the key word,” said Benitez. “You have to be consistent to win the league because you are up against a Barcelona side with a clear model for success.

“The Real Madrid coach changes every year and starts from scratch. That’s why they have won one league title in seven years and half as many as Barcelona while the president has been there.”

Now that he'll start trash talking Real Madrid, I'm curious to see who in the Bernabeu will play the role of Materazzi and trash talk Benítez twice as much.

Is there any team this blob and his wife don't trash talk after he gets axed?

Overrated as hell

Real wasn't that bad while he was there, except the Barcelona 0-4 rape. I believe him on this one.

His career is like watching Goal in reverse. From RM to Newcastle. Next, the US. I guarantee it

I think it'd be interesting to see how he'll do there (if he lasts).

I'm anxiously waiting for him to issue a "back me or sack me" ultimatum to the Newcastle board once they're in the Premiership.
