Recently, former Everton head coach Benitez was interviewed by local media, in which he mentioned some unknown experiences during his time at Everton and blamed the reasons for leaving the team on money, injuries and other problems, but he believed that succeeding Carlo Ancelotti as head coach was the right decision.
For the dismissal from Everton, Benitez bluntly said that such an outcome could not be accepted, when the team was facing serious injuries, he led the coaching team to strictly control the daily training load, especially in the days before leaving the team, the players' injuries and conditions were on the trend, just when they were about to spend the worst days, the club decided to sack Benitez.
During the summer negotiations between the two sides, Benitez clarified to management his plans for the team's future and hopes to obtain some transfer funds, and suggested that the team sell several players in the summer to ensure that the winter transfer window can be more relaxed. However, the reality is that the team did not complete the sale plan in the summer, which directly led to the club not having sufficient funds in both transfer windows. However, in this unfavorable situation, Benitez still completed five signings in the summer, of which only Gray spent 2 million euros, and Rondon, Lonagan, Begović and Townsend were all visa-free.
At the beginning of the season, Benitez's Everton had a strong momentum, and he introduced Townsend and Gray to quickly conquer Everton fans, but as the results declined, the attitude of the fans took a 180° turn, which Benitez was very surprised. He said: "I was very happy that the fans were able to support me from the beginning, but I was also very surprised by the hostility they showed to me afterwards. I've been working hard with my team and I do it at any club. I can't control everyone's emotions, we've done our best, unfortunately we suffered injuries and transfer periods without adequate financial support, and what's even worse is that our competitors are spending money, these problems can't be effectively solved, the team is difficult to improve. ”
