RAFA BENITEZ turned down mega money and more than 20 clubs to be closer to home at Celta Vigo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spaniard Benitez was unveiled as the LaLiga side\u2019s new boss in the summer.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Although he's had a tough start to life with the Galicians, who sit third from bottom after nine games.<\/p>\n

However, the former Everton, Liverpool, Newcastle, \u00a0Chelsea and Real Madrid manager revealed when he took the job: \u201cI had more than 20 offers for much more money \u2014 but coming to Celta is a source of pride.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to be in a top league, closer to my family and a project that allows me to grow. This offer was the most attractive.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ex-Inter Milan and Napoli chief, 63, has one of the most impressive hauls of silverware for any modern-day boss.<\/p>\n

He's racked up triumphs in the Champions League, LaLiga twice, the Europa League, UEFA Cup, Club World Cup, FA Cup and Coppa Italia.<\/p>\n

The former Valencia manager previously bossed in his home country with Real in 2015-16.<\/p>\n

But he was axed halfway through that campaign when Los Blancos dropped to third in LaLiga, amid claims he was unpopular with fans and some players. <\/p>\n

Benitez last won a trophy when Newcastle lifted the Championship crown in 2017.<\/p>\n

Next came his last job until now, seven months at Everton that began with a winning streak but ended in a dire run and the axe in January 2022.<\/p>\n

Celta were quick to boast of his pedigree when they appointed him back in June.<\/p>\n

When announcing his arrival, they posted: "Rafa Benitez is one of the most successful coaches in the history of our country and has coached world-class teams in the main European leagues.<\/p>\n

"(In) our Centenary season, an unforgettable event for Celta's fans, (we will have) a formidable leader on the bench."<\/p>\n
