Rafael Benitez could soon take the helm of the club, represented by Lithuanian Marius Stankevicius, announces the press.

The experienced specialist has already led the Valencia team from 2001-2004 and won the Spanish championship twice with them, as well as the UEFA Cup once.

Later he moved to Liverpool, and last summer took over the coaching duties at Inter Milan, but was dismissed in the winter.

It is said that Valencia fans still warmly remember Benitez, so club president Manuel Llorente has him as a candidate to replace Unai Emery.

It is claimed that Llorente is disappointed by Valencia's early exit from the UEFA Champions League, even though in the round of 16 they faced a relatively weaker opponent - Schalke from Gelsenkirchen. However, in the Spanish championship, the team is in third place, trailing only behind the favorites - Barcelona and Real Madrid.
