[SPORT] Previous Liverpool Player Glen Johnson Named The Awful Manager He Has Ever Played Under

Previous Red Glen Johnson accepts that Rafa Benitez was "the most noticeably awful man-manager" that he at any point played under during his time as a footballer.

Benitez marked Johnson from Portsmouth for an transfer charge of £18.5 million of every 2009.

Benitez left Liverpool a year later, which means Johnson didn't play under the Spaniard for a really long time.

In any case, in that a year that Johnson and Benitez were as one, the Englishman was as yet ready to size up the Spaniard.

Johnson accepts that Benitez was "the most noticeably terrible man-director" that he at any point 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.”
