Rafa Benitez was pretty good as the manager of Valencia.
Two titles and a Uefa Cup.
He was also good at Liverpool and Napoli.
Rafa might have been very good at West Ham and was within two hours of taking over the Hammers.
I’m apprehensive about Zidane becoming the Real Madrid coach now.
He’s been a colossal star himself. But will that mean he has the respect of Ronaldo , Ramos and Bale?
My gut feeling is that this isn’t gonna work.
It was Rob Hughes who told me that Rafa had gone.
But we talked about a lot of other stuff and never got round to discussing whether president Perez’s latest appointment would work out.
