I'm waiting for him and Mourinho to chime in

ETA relevant quotes:

quote:

One thing is certain, [Rafael] Benitez won’t do better than me [at Inter],” Mourinho told the Sunday Times. “Another thing is also true that should he lift the Intercontinental Cup, he will have only won two games compared to my 13. Therefore it will be my trophy and not his. I don’t need photos to make those around me love me as they carry me in their hearts. When I was Inter coach I never asked for the images of Herrera or Mancini to be taken down. “If they don’t like my photos it’s not a problem. I always shared a great rapport with the Inter family. “I wish Benitez success in his new role, not because I love him but because he is coaching a team that belongs to me, my fans and my president.”

He's a fantastic coach. And with unlimited funds, there's no telling what he can do. He's the best available (yes, including Pep) if you want to win now. I'm not looking forward to playing against him.

RT @MenInBlazers Benitez hiring a strategic decision by Roman Abramovich who said "it was time we chose a manager who did not have a three letter acronym"

Why didn't we do all of this on the Coaching Changes board today?
