It's being widely reported that Rafa has been sacked by Inter.

He is currently at his house in Liverpool.

His short tenure in charge at Inter has been poor, relative to recent seasons achievements, however he wasn't exactly given much time, and he had a lot of injuries to contend with.

Haha!

Thought I might as well bring all the discussion into one thread!

Skysports:

Sky Sports News understands Rafa Benitez has been sacked from his post as Inter Milan manager after just six months in charge.

The former Liverpool boss was only appointed by the Serie A giants in the summer but has failed to impress during his time in Italy.

Benitez was handed the unenviable task of following in the footsteps of Jose Mourinho after the former Chelsea chief secured an unprecedented treble of the UEFA Champions League, Serie A and Coppa Italia titles.

The 50-year-old has seen his side struggle in league action this season and they are currently seventh in the Serie A standings, 13 points adrift of leaders AC Milan, although they do have two games in hand.
Outburst

Inter's defence of their European crown has also stuttered as they finished second in Group A behind Tottenham and suffering a miserable 3-0 defeat at the hands of Werder Bremen in their final group fixture.

A meeting with Bayern Munich, who Mourinho's Inter defeated in the Champions League final last summer, was on the cards in the last 16, but there will be a new man at the helm for that fixture in February.

Benitez was understood to be on borrowed time after his outburst in the wake of the Club World Cup success when he called on club president Massimo Moratti to back him in the transfer market if they wanted him to stay as coach.

Moratti has pointedly refused to stand by the Spaniard following his explosive comments and it now appears his patience has run out.

i think fat sam would do alot better job than rafa did at inter. when you compare how much funds rafas had compared with fat sam over the last few years clearly he is the better manager now. i mean who gives up there job so easily literally begging to be sacked. its a total embarassment to be associated with such a loser full stop.

Fair play to them, they knew getting rid sooner than later was a good idea, it took him years to go insane for us, at inter, only 6 months, least they cut their losses before he destroyed the youth setup too

Is Rafa Benitez still the Inter coach?

"Yes, he is. In this precise moment he's the Inter coach, unless I'm mistaken."

Sacked twice in a year!

That's some kind of record in football management, no?

Perhaps he should look at managing a Sunday league side, that way he won't be able to fallout with the boardroom and upset everone above him, heaven help his players though.
