One of the leaders of the "West Ham United" team, David Sullivan, revealed that this summer they almost signed a contract with the current Real Madrid coach Rafael Benitez. "We were just three hours away from signing the contract. All the contract terms were agreed upon, but he received an invitation from Spain," - said Sullivan. "It was a big blow because Benitez is a connoisseur of English football and he also did well in Italy." "West Ham" hired Croatian Slaven Bilic, who started the Premier League season with a sensational victory against Arsenal, but later experienced two failures. "No matter who we would have taken, it would still be a lottery. We support Slaven one hundred percent," - said Sullivan.
