they fired him at the end?
What do u think of this?
I think he maybe was unlucky with all the situations going on on Inter and a lot of injuries!

Lol - he took the European and treble winners to outside the top 4 in Italy, claiming he needs better players. Rafa lost it a long time ago.

Maybe he can stay there
I dont think that the only problems was the injuries...the team is not in top form, but it was not when Mourinho was the trainer at Inter...and of course they won th CL. They win past week the World league, i know it was a shit plays...Europe nealry win year win this cup...here are the best teams...So i think he will stay at Inter...untill it will be sure that they stay in CL, and they could fight for the top in the italian league

Benitez getting sacked is great news, nothing is official yet but if you believe the rumours its a done deal. I never liked him, im just glad he dident get the chance to transfer some players. IMO its very likely that he would have bought some weird players like Lucas from Liverpool that has nothing to do at a club like Inter. According to me it was a mistake not to sell Milito and maybe Maicon, its crazy to say that but Milito is 31 years old and Maicon is 29. We would have got a lot of money for two players who were at the peak of their career but not have so many more good seasons left at the top level. Its easy to say that now but I truly believed that at the time of the transfer window.
I do believe that Benitez has had bad luck at Inter with all the injuries, at the same time I think that many of the players looked a bit satisfyed at the beginning of the season. And thats not only the players fault, Benitez should have better motivated these guys because its hard to have another top season after what Inter did last season. There are rumours that Benitez does not have the best contact with his players. And he cant complain that he needed better players, its just unfortunate that almost the whole starting team got injured at the same time. Its a lot of small things that makes a difference.
Rumours put Spalletti of Zenit St Petersburgh or Milans old manager Leonardo at Inter as a temporary solution because next summer Moratti wants Pep Guardiola. Leonardo is the most probable.

His press conference at the club championship was really stupid, he was saying to Inter you have 3 options. 1 stay as is and we struggle, 2 get new players and make the players compete or 3 I talk to my manager. IDK why he needs new players, OK they lost Balotelli but they still have a very strong roster.

Remember Balotelli is the 2nd best player of the world, right after Messi...

He was doomed to fail, following someone like Mourinho. Expectations left at the very top, injury after injury, what did you expect...
Cashing the prop bet Benitez to get sacked during 2010/11 season.
