Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has reacted on Twitter after the club announced that they will be parting ways with manager Rafa Benitez at the end of the month. The Spaniard spent three seasons with the Toons, helping them back to immediate promotion to the top-flight by winning the Championship in his first full campaign in charge. Newcastle have held on to their Premier League status in the last two seasons thanks to Benitez’s tactical brilliance, but the former Liverpool boss wants more than just fighting relegation every other season.
Unfortunately, current owner Mike Ashley can’t guarantee that, and the Spaniard is set to leave in the coming days.
