Yesterday Newcastle announced the appointment of Rafa Benitez as their new manager. He started the season as the head of Real Madrid, but he has been fired because of the unsatisfying results of the team, failing in the battle against Barcelona for winning La Liga. Now, as he comes to Newcastle, his task is not easier for sure. He has to help the team stay in Premiership as they are currently in the relegation zone being 19th. And even though they are only one point away from the 16th place which guarantees them to stay in the elite next season, they have really difficult fixtures coming up, starting with the leaders Leicester. However, Rafa stayed optimistic about his challenge and asked everyone for their full support:
"It will be a challenge not just for me and my staff but for the players, the club and the fans.
All of us must push together in the same direction and with the same target in mind. This is the reason why I'm going to ask for your total support to successfully complete this task."
Benitez has proved to be one of the best managers over the world. He is in fact the only manager to have won Uefa Champions League, Uefa Super Cup, Uefa Cup, and the Fifa Club World Cup. He has been the head of clubs like Valencia, Liverpool, Inter Milan, Chelsea, Napoli, and Real Madrid. Maybe he would help Newcastle get back where it was, in the elite of European football.
