Benitez has pop at former club Liverpool

Former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez is claiming the club's hierarchy "understood nothing about football". The Spaniard, who left in the summer for Inter Milan, spent his last two seasons at Anfield dealing with in-fighting and internal politics.

Asked about his relationship with Inter president Massimo Moratti, Benitez told the club's website inter.it: "It's good. He is a man who knows football.

"He might get angry when the team doesn't win and this is normal, but at least you can talk about football with him.

"In my last year at Liverpool I had leaders who understood nothing about football and you couldn't talk to them about football.

"You can with Moratti."
