KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Ancelotti supports Benitez

Chelsea head coach Carlo Ancelotti has offered his support to Liverpool counterpart Rafael Benitez, who has come under pressure following a recent run of poor results.

Ancelotti believes that the Spaniard will turn things around at Anfield, having locked horns with Benitez in two Champions League finals during his time in charge at AC Milan.

The Italian told reporters: "It can happen that some things are not very good. Benitez did a fantastic job for Liverpool and won the Champions League in 2005, I remember.

"He got to the final in 2007. He has done a fantastic job and he has the personality and the quality to do a good job in Liverpool.

"I consider Benitez one of the best coaches in the world. Sometimes you have to have confidence in a coach, above all in a coach who has already done very well at the club. Benitez has done well at Liverpool."


- Lets all think straight, look at the squad he inherited, he has had to rebuild from scratch, a coach cannot just become bad in 1 season

wonder if Ancelloti had ushered such sweet words for Rafa if he was the one being tipped for a job at anfield i.e replacing Rafa...ey!

Ancelloti is delighted Rafa is the manager, there is no chance we will be a threat to them while he is in charge.
