Just a fat Spanish waiter? Former Chelsea and Liverpool boss snubbed for being overweight
RAFA BENITEZ has been told he's too fat to manage Sampdoria.
The former Chelsea and Liverpool boss is likely to leave Napoli in the summer.
But Sampdoria chief Massimo Ferro has said he can only come to Stadio Luigi Ferraris if he sees a dietitian.
"As far as I am concerned, he's staying. If he were to leave, I'd know who to replace him with,” Ferrero told Radio Crc.
“Paulo Sousa's not going to be Sampdoria's next coach, it will be [Italian comedy actor] Lino Banfi.
"I could take Benitez, but I'd have to take him to see a dietitian first.
"Anyway, if Mihajlovic does leave, I've already got a replacement. You all say he's leaving, even if I don't know anything about it.”
