Rafa Benítez, one of the most experienced coaches in European football, has left open the possibility of taking on a new challenge in his career: managing the Norwegian National Team. In a recent interview with the Norwegian outlet NRK, the Spanish coach emphasized his willingness to consider interesting proposals that allow him to continue showcasing his skills on the sidelines. Among them, he mentioned that leading a national team could be an attractive experience.

A Coaching Profile Highly Regarded by the Norwegian Federation

Norway, currently under the helm of Stale Solbakken, has a contract with their head coach until 2026. However, Benítez's name is already being touted as an option for the team's future. According to the Spanish coach, the Nordic team has a promising attack and a solid defensive organization, although he believes there are details to improve to achieve optimal balance.

Benítez's profile fits the criteria of any national team seeking to make a competitive leap. His career includes successes with teams like Valencia, Liverpool, and Chelsea, as well as experience in various leagues and football contexts. Additionally, his tactical vision and ability to structure teams could be crucial in maximizing the potential of players like Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard, Norway's key stars. For now, it all seems speculative, but the prospect of seeing Benítez leading Norway in the future is gaining strength as an interesting option for both parties.
