Benitez deny reports about him goin to Real Madrid
-
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has distanced himself from reports linking him with the Real Madrid manager's job.
Juan Ramon Lopez Caro is currently in charge at the Bernabeu, although vice-president Emilio Butragueno has left open the possibility of another change soon if results do not improve.
Real are fourth in the Primera Liga and six points behind leaders and arch-rivals Barcelona, while reaching the Champions League knockout stages did not prevent Wanderley Luxemburgo losing his job as boss.
Benitez has been seen as a candidate after spending almost a decade coaching at the club, starting off with their juniors and working up to the reserve team.
However, Benitez said: 'I am happy at Liverpool, I am Liverpool's manager and I have a job to do here.
'I have said this in the past and now I have an important game in the Champions league against Chelsea (tomorrow) to think about and that is all that is on my mind.
'I certainly will not allow this speculation to disrupt my preparation for the game, but as I say, I am happy here at this club.'' -
he insist his mind is more to defeating chelsea(bladdy hell my fav team they still wanna tink of defeating) than to go to Real Madrid...do you people beg to differ?

there is very high chance of him going to real. afterall he gets a chance to go back to his country. and a better offer i assume.

Rafa has already proved himself in Spain with Valencia.
He's doing well at the moment in England with Liverpool. There is really not much plus for him to move to Madird apart from the lure of managing one of his favorite clubs.
He's got a job to do at Liverpool and I'm pretty sure he's going to try to accomplish it. It's only his 2nd season and times are looking bright at Anfield again, so really, I don't think Madrid will get their man this time. -
he has won the CL with liverpool. i am sure that is an achievement as good as it is. real has been in trouble for a long time. it will be a boost if he can get them back on track. moreover it is a once in a lifetime chance to manage the biggest club in the world.
the most important point though is he is a spanish afterall. -
hmmm u may be right...being in anfield...he may not proved his fully potential but to be back in spain...he may feel much more comfortable to coach the teamOriginally posted by dragg:he has won the CL with liverpool. i am sure that is an achievement as good as it is. real has been in trouble for a long time. it will be a boost if he can get them back on track. moreover it is a once in a lifetime chance to manage the biggest club in the world.

Champions League was no doubt a fantastic accomplishment. There's still the English Premier League he's eyeing. Winning it will prove his success in England.Originally posted by dragg:he has won the CL with liverpool. i am sure that is an achievement as good as it is. real has been in trouble for a long time. it will be a boost if he can get them back on track. moreover it is a once in a lifetime chance to manage the biggest club in the world.

It will be just as massive a boost if he can get Liverpool back on track. Few can argue that that process is well on its way and I just don't see Rafa giving it all up at this moment.
Rafa's still young for a manager. After 10 years, he'll still only be 55. There's plenty of time left in his managerial career.
Lastly, I seriously doubt nationalitiy will have anything to do with his decision to move to Madrid. He's more intelligent than that. -
winning the premiership is an uphill task. i seriously doubt liverpool can do it.Originally posted by Soze:Rafa has already proved himself in Spain with Valencia.

That was what many said before Liverpool were truimphant in Instanbul. I agree that winning a cup compeitition and a league is different but I'm just using the example to illustrate that nothing is impossible.Originally posted by dragg:winning the premiership is an uphill task. i seriously doubt liverpool can do it.
It may be an uphill task, but that does'nt mean that the manager, players and fans will stop dreaming and working towards that goal.
Things have been looking up for Liverpool recently. Players are maturing, quality players have been brought in, the team is gelling, and more players are expected to join in January. The team will become stronger.
With the Kraft investments imminent, things could change.
5 years ago, you'll be the biggest joke if you said that Chelsea will win the EPL. Never say never. You just never know in football. -
maybe liverpool also have a chance of winning...they are 2 points behind man u, 1 point ahead of spurs and 2 points ahead of arsenal...10 points behind chelsea with a game in hand too...so i see liverpool and man u the remaining challengers left...anything is possible...

too early to tell.
towards the end of the season it is always about fatigue and injury. the team with the most depth have a higher chance of winning. -

he will be much better in liverpool..go madrid useless..

No respectable manager would want to go to Madrid................ that place is run not by the manager but by the board and the players. Benetiz would insist on getting his crap players that flood Liverpool and his former Valencia, and the people at Madrid would not accept that.

I believe he will stay....

liverpool so gd now..leave for a shit team under a crap chairman for wad... i think he will be approached if he win the world club championship...and im quite sure he will stay
