media attack inter every day and is not easy to make a god job in inter.

It'll be interesting to see if he gets the same affection from the fans over in Italy.

I guess a lot of that will depend on his success.

Yes. 82pts and 86pts. With virtually no transfer budget.

It sounds like Inter have the same problem with the media that Liverpool do.
Rafa can cope very well with it and if your owners are behind him you will win everything.

Can only wish him all the best, great manager that got shafted by two of the greediest carpet baggers in the world.  Now off to the bookies to put money on Inter retaining their titles....

Rafa took on our owners. Let the mafia at him and he'll round them up and push them off a cliff with one hand and leg tied together.

Rafa is unbreakable as a man. He will be living an easy life compared to the media that gave him sh*t in England.

Rafa will bring you success if you give him respect.

Wonder will he get long term targets he wanted for us, Silva for example, now that hes at Inter? He could build a frightening side there

THE ECHO can exclusively reveal that Rafa Benitez today donated £96,000 to the Hillsborough Family Support Group as he gets set to leave Merseyside.

The former Liverpool FC boss, who was today confirmed as the new manager at Inter Milan, handed over the cheque to Margaret Aspinall, chairwoman of the HFSG, as the rest of the committee watched on this afternoon.

In a low key visit to the group's office, Benitez wished the group well and told them he hoped they would get the justice and the truth they are campaigning for.

Mrs Aspinall said: "It was just nice to know that he wanted to see us before he went."

Brian now the shackles are off he will build the best side in Europe given the fact that most of the sought after players always express a preference to play for him.
It's a real F***ing sickener.

Fantastic this, great manager and a great guy!

Good to see Rafa is still doing his cheeky interviews.

Rafa ready for Jose legacy
Spaniard left Liverpool on 'positive' terms with majority of squad

Mourinho did a great job here. I'm different, I like winning and playing a good football.

Rafa Benitez knows that he is facing a huge task in matching the achievements of Jose Mourinho at Inter Milan.

The former Liverpool boss was officially unveiled as the new Inter manager at the Italians' training ground on Tuesday after leaving Anfield earlier in the summer.

Benitez must now match the achievements of ex-Chelsea arch-rival Mourinho, who has moved to Real Madrid, after an epic Treble-winning season in Serie A, Coppa Italia and the UEFA Champions League.

The Spaniard acknowledged that he has a lot of hard work ahead, but he intends to do things in his own style and could not resist a subtle snipe at the on-field style of his former foe from the Premier League.

Benitez said in a press conference broadcast on Sky Sports News: "Mourinho did a great job here. I'm different, I like winning and playing a good football."


He added: "This is a perfect opportunity for my career. Inter had a practically perfect season. Now it's up to me to keep this winning mentality.

"The Italian mentality is similar to the Spanish. Should we win, it will surely be easier to work."

Benitez was also questioned about his plans in the transfer market, but he claimed he has not discussed the subject with club officials.

"I am still to talk with the club about the market," he said. "The team is the most important thing. Changing everything wouldn't be an intelligent thing."

Benitez also insists that he left Liverpool on good terms with the majority of the squad, despite rumours that he had lost the support of the dressing room.

He said: "I had contact with 95 per cent of the players. Everything was fine, very good messages, very positive messages.

"The relationship is really good with the majority. Maybe you have some members of the team who are not happy, but it has been good.

"The club was fantastic, the fans were amazing, so it was a sad day when I had to go. But things change so I had to do it."

Benitez made special effort to speak to Liverpool and England captain Steven Gerrard after he turned 30 at the end of May.

"I was in contact with Gerrard when it was his birthday and everything was fine, it was good. He was trying to focus on the World Cup," he said.
