Mikel Obi, has revealed that former Chelsea captain, John Terry played a big role in ensuring Rafael Benitez’s reign at Stamford Bridge did not extend beyond his contract.
The former Super Eagles captain lifted the lid on the Chelsea squad’s relationship with Benitez, who was unpopular in the Blues dressing room, in an interview with talkSPORT on Wednesday.
In 2012, Chelsea appointed Rafael Benítez as an interim manager after sacking Roberto Di Matteo only six months after he won the Champions League.
Despite leading the Blues to a third-place finish and winning the Europa League, the Spaniard was replaced the following season by Jose Mourinho after his reign as interim manager caused trouble at Cobham.
