Benitez Set To Be Sacked Soon

Benitez Set To Be Sacked Soon

London, Rafa Benitez is on the cusp of being sacked at Everton, as a mixture of poor results and fan backlash has seen his position come under threat at Goodison Park, the Spanish MARCA said.

The Spaniard coach arrived last summer to replace Carlo Ancelotti after the Italian had accepted an offer to return to Real Madrid, and his Liverpool past contributed to making his appointment unpopular from the beginning.

Everton have won just one of their last 11 games under Benitez and their 2-1 defeat to Norwich yesterday looks as though it could prove to be his last in charge, with the Athletic reporting that the club are ready to part ways with the coach.

Everton are in action again against Aston Villa on 22 January, and Benitez is expected to have been sacked before then.

The fans have voiced their dissatisfaction with the coach of late, and a number of banners were on display among the away fans at Norwich on Saturday.
