Hi guys, just saw this:

RAFA'S PRIDE AT WORLD COACH HONOUR

Rafael Benitez has spoken of his pride at being voted the best coach in the world by supporters voting in three of the continents best known newspapers.
Spain's AS and Marca, plus Italian broadsheet La Gazzetta dello Sport conducted online polls asking their readers to vote for the best coach in world football.

Liverpool's manager was an overwhelmingly popular figure and came out on top, winning more votes than the likes of Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho, Arsene Wenger, Fabio Capello, Marcello Lippi, Vicente Del Bosque and Josep Guardiola.

"I am really pleased. You cannot say that someone is the best in the world as it's almost impossible to guarantee that, but at least you have three big newspapers and supporters saying that we as a club are not bad," the boss told Liverpoolfc.tv.

"That for me is very positive because it means our staff are really good and the players are really good.

"The manager always depends on the players and his staff. You can't be a good manager if you don't have a good team behind you. If the supporters say you are doing well it's because your team, your club is doing well.

"Clearly it's nice because it's supporters from three different countries that voted, as there was also another poll in Germany."

While he won the UCL with average players, you can't really say this current group is average.
