On December 16, Beijing time, the latest news from a number of British media, Premier League powerhouse Everton Club is about to dismiss its employer Benitez. This round of premier league Everton and Chelsea is likely to be the last game of the "Master Bay" coaching team.
The Spanish coach will also become the seventh Premier League manager to step down this season after Munoz (Watford), Bruce (Newcastle), Nuno (Tottenham), Daniel Fauck (Norwich), Dean Smith (Villa) and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (Manchester United).
As a world-class coach who led Liverpool to the Champions League, Benitez has also coached Real Madrid, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Napoli, Valencia and other five major European league powerhouses. In addition, Benitez has also coached at the Dalian Club of the Chinese Super League. This summer, Benitez succeeded Carlo Ancelotti as Everton's new manager.
However, as of now, the performance of Pei Shuai's team is not ideal. In the last round of the Premier League, Everton lost 3-1 away to Crystal Palace, and Currently Everton are only 14th in the Premier League table. Not only is the team's record poor, Benitez, who has always handled the relationship with the players poorly, but also has a tense relationship with the team's main left-back Digne. In addition, Everton fans have always been very unhappy with the "Red Army elements" of Benitez.
British media revealed that if Everton finally decides to sack Benitez, then they will consider hiring 36-year-old star Rooney to return to coaching. Although the most glorious moment of Rooney's career was at Manchester United, he came from Everton's youth training, standing in the Everton first team at the age of 16 and playing alongside former national football coach Li Tie. After leaving Manchester United, Rooney also returned to Everton for one season.
Now retired, Wayne Rooney is the manager of the Championship Derby County. However, derby County clubs are currently in financial crisis, have been officially entrusted with financial problems and deducted 21 points, and derby County are currently at the bottom of the Championship table with 4 points, and relegation may be difficult to avoid. Although Rooney has expressed his willingness to tide over the difficulties with Derby County, it may be difficult for Rooney to refuse the invitation of childhood club Everton. If Rooney does take over everton, he will also become another former England international superstar in charge of premier league teams after Lampard and Gerrard.
