Benitez speaks out on Newcastle future and difference between Serie A and Premier League

Former Napoli and Inter boss Rafa Benitez has released a very interesting interview with Repubblica to talk about his career, the reasons he left Napoli and Real Madrid, but also to talk about his future and the differences between Serie A and Premier League, two leagues he knows very well.

“I am not sure the quality of Serie A has improved but there are three or four strong teams also thanks to foreign investors. Money makes the difference because you can buy the best players and convince them to stay. The biggest gap between Serie A and Premier League is mainly an economic one. As a consequence, England has better structures and training facilities but Italians are very good on the pitch, you [Italians] have lot of potential.”

“I am happy at Newcastle, the fans are supporting us and the club’s executives trust me. We miss some quality but we are a very balanced team. Our objective is to survive to the Premier League campaign and then try to win something from the next seasons. That’s what I see in my future.”
