I figured Di Matteo would be gone after City beats them down on Sunday. Kind of a shock he is sacked before Hughes tho, altho Hughes has effectively been sacked.
In a sense it is his fault, but in another sense its not. Its his fault because he is a limited manager, altho them beating Barca last year was some good tactics. In another way, its Roman's fault for thinking he can rebuild in one summer. They also have no strikers, so he was already behind the 8ball. Plus Roman wants Pep, so Di Matteo was always a placeholder.
I hope Benitez has respect for himself to not take this job because he would also be a placeholder until Guardiola becomes available, or even Mourinho. Truthfully, I dont know why any big time manager would take that gig outside of the money. Roman dont care and will fire you. Also, if Benitez takes that job, he better sell his house in Liverpool or else it will be ransacked and burgled... well tbf that happens when he goes out for a walk, but still those Lpudlians dont play.
