What a great couple of days for us Chelsea fans. We beat Spurs at the Bridge, United lose to Arsenal and now we have reports that Roman Abramovich has told Rafa (The FSW) Benitez to forget about ever becoming Chelsea manager!.
Benitez had seen that Fernando Torres was suffering a lack of confidence and too the chance to put his name forward to be considered as the next Chelsea manager. He claimed to be able to get the best out of Torres and it did concern me.
However, a report that appeared in the Daily Mail has put my mind at rest. The article states the following:
Rafa Benitez has been told to forget the idea he might be the man to replace Carlo Ancelotti should the Italian leave Chelsea. The former Liverpool boss has made it clear through his representatives that he would be open to a move to Stamford Bridge if Ancelotti moves on.
But Roman Abramovich has no interest in recruiting Benitez, who has been out of work since he was sacked by Inter Milan in December, six months after losing his job at Anfield.
Roman Abramovich does not want Rafa Benitez to manage Chelsea
The 51-year-old Spaniard won the Champions League with Liverpool six years ago and was in charge of the Merseysiders during an epic sequence of European duels with Chelsea when he became locked in a bitter feud with Jose Mourinho.
These memories, together with his reputation for cautious football and boardroom power struggles, count against him in the eyes of Abramovich, who has been considering his options since Chelsea lost at Manchester United in the Champions League.
Thank God for that!. We all saw exactly what he did to Liverpool and how he left their squad. The message is clear. "Rafa sod off!"
