Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez has contributed to the long running war of words between him and Internazionale boss Jose Mourinho.
The Spanish manager said he was unsure if the former Chelsea gaffer is the right man to take over at Real Madrid.
Benitez also backed Real’s current coach Manuel Pellegrini, declaring that the Chilean has behaved impeccably in the wake of speculation about him being replaced at the helm.
“Pellegrini has done a great job and has to be given great respect because he is still coach of Real Madrid. He has shown exemplary behaviour, because it is not pleasant to hear talk about who’s going to replace you,” AS quoted Benitez as saying.
“I know Mourinho is crazy about coaching Real Madrid. I do not know if Mourinho is the right person to train to Madrid.”
Benitez also refused to confirm or deny that he would, one day, be interested in returning to the Bernabeu to coach the first team.
“I’m from Madrid, I’m at home in this city have been linked to the club and it is a great club, but I cannot say anything more,” he added.
