In the 22nd round of the Premier League this season, Everton lost 1-2 away to Norwich City, and only won 1 draw and 3 defeats in the last 4 league rounds. In just half a year's trip to the Toffee, Benitez led the team to 22 games in all competitions, with a winning rate of only 31.8%. In the Premier League, 5 wins, 4 draws and 10 losses in 19 league rounds, and only one of the last 13 rounds has scored a full three points, Everton lost and is now only 6 points above the relegation zone in the standings. In this turbulent winter window, Benitez finally could not escape the fate of being dismissed.
The former Master Bei has obviously been unable to play in the Premier League since the return of the Chinese Super League circle money. Although "Guamu looked at each other" is a pair of sworn enemies CP with strong dramatic conflict, if you go back 17 years, the first-line coach who is on par with Mourinho is Still Benitez. At the time, Mourinho debuted in the Premier League to help Chelsea win the league title, while Benitez led Liverpool to perform the Miracle of Istanbul to win the Champions League trophy. Today, however, the Portuguese and Spaniards have become crouching dragons, and the Premier League is taken over by the new duo of Guardiola and Klopp. The coaching resume is also a huge club, but Benitez's peak is not as dazzling as Mourinho;it is also a contradiction-making machine, but Master Bei is not like a madman.
Benitez and the giants are somewhat at odds, from the highs and lows of the Liverpool period, to the failure to continue the results of the Triple Crown Kingdom, and later landed at Stamford Bridge and became the public enemy of the Blues, returning to the homeland to real Madrid also ignited the locker room. It is worth mentioning that from Real Madrid to Everton, Benitez twice took over the coaching whip from Ancelotti and lost his job for half a year. In contrast, Benitez's coaching experience in non-traditional giants is remarkable. At the beginning of the millennium, Benitez led the team to win the league championship after 31 years in his first season as Valencia; took over Napoli in 2013, unfortunately failing to lead the team to achieve the dream of winning the championship; in the 2015-2016 season, he saved the fire of Newcastle, although the team ultimately failed to get rid of the relegation doom, but the coach did not withdraw, but helped Newcastle return to the Premier League the following year.
Last summer, Ancelotti returned to Real Madrid to vacate Everton for Benitez. Although management's support for the Spanish coach was limited, toffee's paper strength was not weak. In today's wave of tactical changes in the Premier League, Benitez has become somewhat outdated, with a single offensive routine and too dependent on the personal ability of players in the frontcourt. And when Le Wen and Rishalisson and other important people were injured one after another, Master Bei was exhausted. Despite Benitez's claims the club lacked patience with him, that didn't in any way obscure his current level of second-rate coaching. Perhaps deep inside Benitez, the six years of red army time are unforgettable, and at the same time he underestimated the memory of the Internet. When Everton were in a winless predicament, and in the Merseyside derby, they lost 4-1 at home to their city rivals, the do-gooders eventually dug up the black history of Benitez's early years in charge of Liverpool. In the end, the fermented public opinion gang with the poor record forced Master Pei to hand over the handsome seal that was not yet hot.
Now, assistant coach Duncan Ferguson will serve as Everton's interim manager, and this is the second time he has put out a fire for the team. Regarding the new manager, it is reported that Everton contacted Mourinho in Rome but was refused, and they targeted Belgian national team coach Martinez. In addition, Lampard and Looney's two Derby county managers are also within the scope of the toffee. The former was sacked by Chelsea to this day, while the latter is on the road to training in hell mode. With Rooney's current coaching experience, it may not be wise to take over Everton's mess. However, from the perspective of spiritual attributes, the famous Rooney is definitely the best candidate. The vow of "one day is blue, one life is blue" is still in the ears, and if he really returns to Goodison Park as a coach, he will do his best to help the parent team relegate and strive for a better ranking.
