“Rafael Benitez destroyed Napoli star”

– Rafael Benitez has been accused of destroying Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik’s career

– “Hamsik is a good player and Benitez was destroying him”

According to the Serie A outfit’s former director Pierpaolo Marino, Benitez was “destroying” Marek Hamsik.

Benitez was signed by Napoli as a coach in 2013 and had spent two years there before he joined Real Madrid in 2015, losing his job after just seven months. Despite the fact that the coach won the Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa Italiana for Napoli, Pierpaolo Marino states that the Spaniard was using Hamsik out of position, something current Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri has corrected this term to bring out the best in the midfielder once again.

Marino explained: “Hamsik is a good player and Benitez was destroying him. He was being always played out of position and substituted, his potential was being impoverished and consequently the boy was losing motivation. Marek simply couldn’t react to the situation. Fortunately [Maurizio] Sarri arrived and he now uses him in his ideal role, just as [Edoardo] Reja did. We’ve recovered a world-class player.”

This season Hamsik has scored seven goals and made seven assists in all competitions for Scudetto-chasers Napoli.

It would be recalled that the former Real Madrid manager Rafa Benitez has been confirmed as the Newcastle coach.  The club can also confirm the appointment of Fabio Pecchia, Francisco de Míguel Moreno, Antonio Gómez Pérez, who will join Ian Cathro and Simon Smith to form Benitez’s coaching team.
