Where does Rafa Benitez rank among the top managers of the 21st century?

And which currently popular manager will see the same kind of decline that Benitez did over the next few years?

decline? hes on his way back to the greatest league in the world

a great manager but a level below the top

who?

A Spanish manager from Madrid. He won consecutive Spanish league titles with Valencia, then the Champions League with Liverpool.

Aside from that disgusting draw, he's the other reason halal won
Only retards think it was zimeme

Mid-tier.

The seasons with Valencia where magical as fuck. Just because of that he deserves some respect.

Only about a dozen managers have won both the CL and a relevant league title this century, so at worst he's 12th.

>Won CL
>Won La Liga against Real and Barca
>Won EL despite Chelsea fans booing him out at every game

Pretty good

>>Won EL despite Chelsea fans booing him out at every game

Almost forgot about that. And then their fans had the gall to say shit like "we forgive you" after he saved their nightmare of a season.

Ahmed, Abdul, how important are Community Shield and FA cup?. People care about them or what? and which is more important.

The FA Cup still matters, it's a little less important in England than the Copa del Rey is in Spain. People care about. But nobody cares about the Community Shield at all. It's a meaningless glorified friendly.

FA Cup is the biggest and most important domestic cup in the world lad

*People care about it a lot, there's plenty of celebrating after winning but it's obviously nowhere near as big as the league.

I think like Mourinho he's failed to adapt to the game changing at the top level.

Him and Mourinho were GOAT 04-09 when they could play 4-5-1 with a proper striker and faced other managers doing similar.

Now everybody is pressing or counter attacking they're coming unstuck a bit

Near the bottom but still ahead of Jurgen Klinsmann.

thanks tyron

This desu. He's decent.

I still think he got fucked over in Madrid last season. They would have still won the CL with him imo.

>it's a little less important in England than the Copa del Rey is in Spain
No. It's a big achievement for any club, only slightly less important than the premier league. The only reason Sup Forums says that it's a Mickey Mouse trophy is because Arsenal recently won it back-to-back and people want to undermine their achievements because they have a cancerous fanbase.
