#2. Rafa Benitez – Real Madrid
What Rafa Benitez achieved with Liverpool cannot be understated but ever since his departure from the Reds his career has been on a downward spiral. He had a very brief spell with Napoli, then moving to Chelsea as interim manager which was highly controversial.
He then spent three very average seasons with Napoli not being able to help a side that was filled quality to win the Serie A title. Once his time with Napoli came to an end nobody predicted Los Blancos would be his next destination.

There were huge protests from the fans against his appointment and for good reason for it too. Real Madrid got off to a decent start but the style of football did not appease the supporters.
Benitez preferred a more defensive approach to the game which also reportedly caused a rift in the dressing room. Ronaldo and co. were left unhappy with Benitez’ style and it culminated in a 4-0 humiliation at the Bernabeu at the hands of arch-rivals Barcelona.
Safe to say he did not last long after that and Madrid appointed Zinedine Zidane as his successor.
