It will be a very interesting summer on the front of 'total coaches' especially after thefarewell of Rafa Benitez to Naples. During the conference convened by the club for 13 pm in Castel Volturno, the Spanish coach announced the end of his adventure with the club at the end of next Sunday's very delicate match against Lazio.
And precisely speaking of this match Benitez said: "Sunday we have a very important match and I want to end my 2 years with a victory". A farewell that many had already announced but which today becomes official after a long push and pull between the Spanish coach and the Neapolitan president Aurelio De Laurentiis.
The Napoli president, who this year did not have a good relationship with his coach, especially after his early elimination in the Champions League, explained to the press present at Castel Volturno that Benitez's contract provided for 2 years and the option for 3rd. “I have come to terms with this choice – says De Laurentiis with a touch of bitterness – and I wish him luck. I thank Rafa for this time together, he immediately conquered me in London 2 years ago and confirmed that impression for me ”.
In the two years as coach of the Neapolitan team, Rafè, as the Napoli fans call him, won an Italian cup, an Italian Super Cup and third place in the 2013/2014 Serie A season. Here are the words with which Benitez I announce his farewell to Naples.
