Rafael Benitez does not consider himself one of the favorites to become the best coach in the world, as this award deserves most of all the Munich "Bayern" victories blacksmith Jupp Heynckes from last season.
In the FIFA nominations announced yesterday, the "Napoli" strategist is one of the nine contenders for the title of coach of the year.
The coach from Spain last season won the UEFA Europa League with London's "Chelsea", and this season the team led by him shows excellent results both in Italy and in Europe.
"Jupp should receive this award," R.Benitez told journalists. - He won everything with Bayern, so he deserves to be called the best coach in the world."
Let's remind you that the FIFA ceremony will take place on January 13, 2014, then not only the coach of the year, but also the footballer will be revealed.
