    It's confirmed, Rafael Benitez and Inter part ways

    Source: http://www.worldsoccer.com/news/inte...3.html?aff=rss

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    I have been skeptical whether this is the right way to go. Benitez did not perform well during his short spell at Inter, but he was not working under optimal conditions either. Injuries limited him massively, and he was not allowed to purchase any new players.

    Inter has confirmed that one reason to why no big deals were made during the summer is that the club needs to shrink its costs and prepare itself for the financial fair play rules that UEFA will enforce eventually. This is nothing new and exclusive though, AC Milan and Juventus have had similar strategies. Even when AC Milan has been operating on the transfer market, they have been brilliant in signing world class players at lowest possible cost. The Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Antonio Cassano, Boateng and Robinho deals all confirm this.

    Secondly, Benitez' role in Inter was simply "allenatore", which is to take care of the training and the team management - not selling and purchasing players (unlike how it is in England).

    Last but not least, he inherited a squad which he needed time to get to know, and given that most of his key players haven't been eligible so far, his task has only been made more difficult.

    With these things being said, I think it was for the best that Benitez and Inter decided to part ways. It was obvious the past month that things are not in balance at Appiano Gentile. Even after winning the Club World Cup title a few days ago, Benitez went out and revealed that there are fundamental problems that hamper the management and coaching of the club.

    The coming Inter coach (some say it is Leonardo) will most likely just be an interim solution until the end of the season. In other words, Inter's chances of winning anything this season can now definitely be written off.
    We thank and support Mr.Kamran Delan for many years of dedication and service to Iranian Football Community.

              The reason he was sacked was that he went on a public rant against his employer The only way you can do something like that and get away with it is

              1) You are Kobe Bryant which means you are talented as hell and you work your ass off.

              2) The owner is Jerry Buss which means you know you have a great history of success, fuccked up this time and you need to fix your fuk up which he did

              Benitez and his boss are neither so out the door he goes.

                    No you guys are not going to win Sirea A every year but Inter has enough good players to at least bare minimum finish in the top three or worst case top four so they can get selected for champions. Personally one thing I don't like about Sirea A is when teams play against Inter, Juve or AC Milan they just put 10 in a box and hope for the tie. Inter has good players they can be an offensive attack minded team but every time I see them they are defensive minded typical I-talian style score a goal and sit on the lead 10 men in the box.

                    You guys are better than that and you guys can find a better coach in my unbiased opinion. Ya you guys won some stupid tournament against an Mazembe of DPR(ya they are a powerhouse), that Korean team that I can't pronounce their name and the tournament had a Brazilian team, Pachuca of Mexico and Al Whada of UAE. You guys should beat those teams. The thing is you shouldn't be 7th in Sirea A that is unacceptable for a team like Inter. Like I said on a down year you guys should be top 5.
