Chelsea: 3 Reasons Why Rafael Benitez Should Never Have Joined

1. The Expectations At Stamford Bridge Are Too High

When the manager before you has been sacked after winning the biggest prize in club football just the season before - you know you are going to have to deliver. And that adds immense pressure. As the "interim" manager there is only really one way Benitez could have any chance of getting a permanent deal at Chelsea and that would be to win the Premier League and even then you couldn't say for sure if he would definitely get the job. That's the type of expectations were dealing with here. With there being such a great number of managers at Chelsea in so little time it is really hard to see what Benitez ever thought he could get from taking the Job at Stamford Bridge and I don't think it will be long before Abramovich is looking to appoint someone else.
