Fernando Torres on Mourinho and Benitez

AC Milan star Fernando Torres has hit out at Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho and former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez, Express reports.
The Spanish striker believes that his two previous managers could not relate to him because they didn’t make it to the top level as a player.

 

Torres joined Milan from Chelsea on a two-year loan deal during the summer and is now enjoying his time playing for Rossoneri legend Filippo Inzaghi, who had a successful career scoring over 300 competitive goals.
Despite this the 30-year-old believes that it is not essential to be a top player before becoming a manager, but it is great to have a boss that understands you as a player.
”I don’t believe it’s fundamental to have been a great champion before becoming a coach of a high calibre,” he told Italian news publication Corriere della Sera.
“From a technical and tactical point of view, competence can always be appreciated. But I have to admit that Inzaghi understands me.
“Those who have played have something extra to offer their players. Inzaghi is a bit like [Luis] Aragones who made history at Atletico.”
Torres only scored 45 goals in 172 appearances during his four-and-a half years at Chelsea
