Rafael Benítez will now face one of his biggest challenges as a head coach. He has assumed the leadership of the FC Internazionale. He is well aware that winning is not as easy as it seems and that matching the great season they now face is not easy either.

Last season, under the management of Jose Mourinho, Inter was able to win the national Scudetto, the UEFA Champions League and the Coppa Italia.

These three championships took the Nerazzurri back to the highest places in the international football rankings in both Europe and around the globe.

This three great y complicated championships that Mourinho managed to win, must now be somewhat of a challenge for the recently hired Benitez. Meeting the demands that most fans have placed on such a winning team is not that easy. He believes that this is going to be quite an interesting challenge.

Benitez is no newbie. He has enough experience and talent to really guide a team to the highest spots of world soccer. He should be a good match for the guys over at the Internzionale. After leaving Liverpool, this is by far a great move on his personal career.

Mourinho leaves behind a compact and well-synced team. It is full of very capable players the now how to fight for their team. This unity and experience will certainly help out Benitez on his first few weeks ahead.

Benitez and Mourinho have very similar tactical approaches on the field. They both were not very talented professional players but have captured the essence of the game and have been able to guide professional teams with very good results.

These similarities should help in one way or another Benitez work before the new team. The new head coach of the Beneamata is a man who likes to be in control of the situation and create a strong compromise between players and the team. He has much experience transmitting and passing along the messages and his strategies to the players.

Benitez has one other advantage over at Inter. The upper management of the legendary institution is very flexible and willing to accommodate the manager’s needs.

For Benitez the toughest challenge is to match or surpass what the team has been able to attain in the last few seasons. He has been set in the helm of a winning team, and keeping the momentum and the motivation is not always as easy as one would assume. He has what it takes, both the technical know-how and the talented players to really make the team go out there and bring on some great games of football.

Rafa Benitez is concentrating on putting together a team that is more technical, a group that seeks at all times to be in control of the ball. That is his main duty.

Esteban Cambiasso is one of the names highlighted in the strategy of Benitez. The main idea is to put the midfielder as far forward as possible in order to get the most out of his tactical game and pressure the rival team early on. Benitez's intention is to use at Inter, Barcelona’s winning strategy.

Benitez knows that he does not have much time to convey his players to a new strategy that will radically change the Italian game, which is generally more leaned towards the physical edge.

Benitez has suggested the hiring of Javier Mascherano and Dirk Kuyt, two of his former pupils, but so far no plans have been set out.
