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.
“This is a really big chance to progress our careers. We are playing at a big stage and we have a chance to showcase what we can do to the rest of the continent and the world,” Aldrine Kibet revealed.
“It is a platform where we can also progress our careers, and you never know, maybe some players can get opportunities to move to bigger teams.
“It is a huge chance for all of us, and we need to leave the tournament better players with more experience to take us to the next level.”
He added that to be selected in the squad is special since the tournament always comes after every two years, and by the next edition, he would have already passed the age bracket.
The 18-year-old also pointed out that being the first ones to qualify for the continental showpiece is a dream come true and enough reason for them to give their all.
“This is a massive opportunity and something that possibly comes once in your career. This is a great opportunity for everyone in the team,” Aldrine Kibet revealed.
