Rafa Benítez: total power

From being questioned to having the full power of Everton. Rafa Benítez has gone from black to white in less than 24 hours. On sunday night Everton announced the departure of its sports director Marcel Brands and ratified Benítez, which has completely changed the situation of the Spanish coach, who now has full powers. These they will begin to be felt right now, in the next transfer window, where your decisions will have weight. Rafa Benítez has admitted that he will have a greater influence on Everton’s business in the transfer window January after the departure of Marcel Brands. “We have to prepare now for the future. It is in the short term and in January,” Benítez told Sky Sports when asked about the running of Brands.

Marcel Brands fired, the outlook for Everton seems to be beginning to clear up. Just yesterday Everton beat Arsenal 2-1, with the two winning goals scored in the last 12 minutes. It was Everton’s first victory in the Premier League after seven games without a win. To find the previous victory it was necessary to go back to 25 September when they beat Norwich 2-0.

On Sunday Rafa Benítez won against Marcel Brands (at the club since May 2018), who terminated his contract by mutual agreement. During this time, Brands spent around 350 million euros on signings in the three and a half years that he has been at the club, with very uneven success. This circumstance was taken into account by Farhad Moshiri, the Iranian owner of the club since 2016, when making the decision and opting to give Benítez full powers. All to launch “a strategic review of the structure of football.”

The Spaniard had been under great pressure after the 4-1 derby loss to Liverpool, But now you can turn your attention to the January transfer window after the victory at Goodison Park.
