Benitez quits Valencia

Starting XI


Rafael Benitez has resigned as coach of Valencia as speculation mounts he is set to become the next Liverpool boss.
The Primera Liga club had offered Benitez a two-year contract extension, but the former Tenerife coach rejected the new contract on the table.

Benitez, who led Valencia to the Spanish title and the Uefa Cup this season, is tipped to replace Gerard Houllier, who was sacked in May.

Liverpool want to name the successor to Houllier within a fortnight.

Alan Curbishley, who has been in charge at Charlton since 1991, has also been tipped to move to Liverpool.

Jose Mourinho, who has confirmed he is leaving Porto for an unnamed English club, is likely to choose Chelsea ahead of Anfield.

Benitez has enjoyed unprecedented success since taking over the Primera Liga club three years ago.

In his first season in charge he led the club to the Spanish title, the first time they had won the Primera Liga in 30 years.

Benitez has also coached Real Madrid's high profile B team, as well as Tenerife, Extremadura, Valladolid and Osasuna.

Football is about money - and players and managers are there for their careers (90% of people would do the same).

There is no loyalty in the game anymore either from the player/manager to the club or the club the other way.

I don't think Benitez would leave Valencia if he were more comfortable there, but the general manager and him used to argue a lot about transfers.

He claims that it has always been his dream to manage Liverpool though I doubt he even knew who we were before we played them a couple of years back (can't remember the score) :crazyboy: But we know he's a good manager and this leaves the gates open for maybe some world class to follow like Canizárez, Baraja, Aimar, Ayala, etc.:mrpimp:
