Football: Time proves I was right says Benetiz

ROME: Rafael Benitez has hit out at Inter Milan for sacking him, saying time has shown he was right. Benitez lasted less than six months in Inter. In December, with his team struggling at the midway point of last season, Benitez said they needed to buy three or four players. Inter sacked him but then bought four players, improving notably under Leonardo. Despite his bitter experience, Benitez admits he would consider a return. “It was a great experience for me, I won two trophies in six months and amongst those was the Club World Cup.”
