Personally I'm glad he didn't go to Liverpool. I think that on a level playing field Benitez is a better manager than Mourinho. It's easy for an above average manager to appear to be a great manager with the money Chelsea have.

But not to win the European Cup with Porto, and the Portuguese league at whoever he was at before.
It's all very well demeaning his achievements at Chelsea because of the resources but teams have spent and not achieved anything (like Newcastle) as well as Mourinho having a history of shock wins, using the best he has, etc.
Whereas all Benitez has done is spend on spanish and south americans at Valencia and Liverpool. And only has one trophy win to Mourinho's three.
