Former Red Glen Johnson believes that Rafa Benitez was “the worst man-manager” that he ever played under during his time as a footballer.

Benitez signed Johnson from Portsmouth for a transfer fee of £18.5 million in 2009.

Benitez left Liverpool a year later, meaning Johnson did not play under the Spaniard for too long.

However, in that 12 months that Johnson and Benitez were together, the Englishman was still able to form an opinion of the Spaniard.

Johnson believes that Benitez was “the worst man-manager” that he ever played under during his time as a footballer.

“The best man-manager I played under was definitely Harry Redknapp,”

“He was like one of the lads, I had him texting me his comments about horses when I’ve been at the racing – he’s liked to see the boys enjoy themselves.

“But the worst? Hmm… I’d probably say Benitez, but it’s a difficult one, because he was good and the worst at the same time.

“He never tries to be your friend, that’s what I mean by saying he’s probably the worst man-manager, but he does it in a clever way.

“Whereas Harry would be your mate and get the best out of you that way, Benitez would get the best out of you by not being your friend.

“It’s also why I loved him. He used to go to work, he knew how to deal with certain people but he didn’t do it in a friendly way with an arm around you.

“He would bring Torres off at the end of a game and everyone would be saying to Fernando, ‘well done for scoring a hat-trick’, and Benitez would walk past and say, ‘yeah but you should have scored four’.

“He’d just shut him down and say: ‘Don’t be pleased with three’

“He would get the best out of you by knowing what to say and when to say it, as opposed to having a joke with you.

“It’s not a negative about Benitez, I loved Benitez, he just does things in a different way.”
