How is coach Benitez now?

Rafa Benitez has become the center of attention as he is seen as a strong candidate for the Rangers head coach position.

Rangers fans are hoping Benitez can help the club overcome difficulties.

At the age of 65, the Spanish strategist seems to be out of date, and there are even rumors that the former Liverpool coach may retire. However, according to AS , Benitez is not ready to retire and is ready to return to top European football.

Scottish football giants Rangers are considering sacking their current manager, Russell Martin. The Rangers board rate Benitez highly and have begun talks with him.

Previously, in February, when Rangers sacked coach Phillipe Clement, Benitez was contacted for the position of club captain. In the end, coach Russell Martin was chosen by Rangers.

However, with the current poor run of results, the Scottish club's board want to invite Benitez to the hot seat. In an interview with The Telegraph in September, Benitez confirmed that he still wants to continue his coaching career in Europe.

Benitez left Newcastle United in the summer of 2019 after three years in charge. Although he was unable to keep Newcastle in the Premier League when he took over at the end of the 2015/16 season, he returned the Magpies to the top flight the following season and then built the team into a stable unit.

After Newcastle, Benitez took charge of Celta Vigo but was sacked in 2024 after winning just five of his 28 games. Earlier this year, he was close to taking charge of Brazilian side Botafogo.
