    With success in Coppa Italia, the Spanish manager has won a trophy in his very first season in the last five jobs...

    COMMENT
    By Shikharr Chandra
    At times, it felt as if he was the only one standing there. Without any support from the fans, Rafa Benitez did his job quietly in the Stamford Bridge dugout as he guided the club to their second European trophy in consecutive seasons and a well acclaimed third place finish in the league behind the two Manchester clubs.

    Rafael Benitez took over the challenging task of replacing Roberto Di Matteo who had just months before won the Holy Grail of European football. Thanks to his previous stint with Liverpool, fans never took a liking to the Spaniard and in his very first in-charge; 'Rafa Out' banners were on display. However Benitez never succumbed to pressure as the interim Chelsea manager completed his job, a thankless one which further cemented his status as one of the finest managers in Europe.

    Born in Madrid and a part of the Real Madrid youth academy, Benitez never really made a mark as a player as injuries stunted his career. However determined as he was, he was soon part of the coaching setup of the Real Madrid side back in 1986 and would soon see himself promoted as the head coach of Castilla B, where he won two league titles in his three year stint. He was later promoted to the Real Madrid Youth B and the U19's side. He was once again successful with the two teams and looked set to embark on a great coaching career.

    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

    Napoli celebrated cementing a third-place finish in Italy’s Serie A, and a place in the qualifying stages of next season’s Champions League, with a 3-0 rout of ten-man Cagliari on Tuesday.

    Fresh from victory over Fiorentina in a violence-marred Cup final, Rafael Benitez’s men were assured of third spot earlier in the evening when Fiorentina, in fourth, were stunned 4-3 by Sassuolo in Florence.

    Celebrations at the San Paolo, however, were comparatively subdued as fans sung and waved banners in honour of 30-year-old Napoli fan Ciro Esposito, who is in hospital in a critical state after being shot on the fringes of the Cup final on Saturday.

          It will always be Benitez for me ,the "youth coach" has alot to learn.He has earned himself another year of on the job training while the master is way.

          The expectation for next season are immemse.He has no excuses a title or trophy of value must be won next season in addition to finishing in the top 4.

          After the master Benitez conquers Italy and Europe, his shadow over liverpool will only get larger .
