Rafael Benitez: Former Liverpool and Real Madrid Manager Rejects Offer to Coach African Giants
Veteran Spanish coach Rafael Benitez, who has had stints with Liverpool, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Napoli and Inter Milan, has reportedly turned down an African football giant.
He revealed that many youngsters have started believing in their craft and are showing up fearlessly. This year alone, South African youngsters have been impressive.
Bayanda Walaza and Karabo Letebele are some of the South African sprinters who have already started their 2025 seasons with scintillating performances.
“I think it’s a great thing in my career, but also an inspiration to the young sprinters in South Africa. We have younger guys greatly inspired by what we did last year and this year,” Akani Simbine revealed.
“Some South African sprinters have run so fast. What we did last year has fueled a fire in sprinters in South Africa, and I’m excited about the coming generation.
“Sprinting is not going to die or anything, it’s still going to live for a very long time and being part of that story is important.”
Akani Simbine has already started his 2025 season, competing indoors where he first won the bronze medal in the 60m at the World Indoor Championships.
He then claimed the win at the Botswana Golden Grand Prix and extended the winning streak to the Diamond League Meeting in Xiamen. Akani Simbine will be looking to clinch another win in Shanghai on Saturday.
