Rafa Benitez does a ‘Riise’ at meeting of Europe’s top coaches

And why is Fergie there?

What’s he doing there?

Study the picture below carefully because there will be questions afterwards.

The picture was taken today at a big conference that saw some of the most high-profile coaches in world football gather to swap ideas.

But some men weren’t taking things as seriously as the others.

Like Rafa Benitez for example.

He’s the only man we can see that turned up in jeans, although we’d guess that Jurgen Klopp was rocking the stone wash look too.

But at least he has old pal Carlo Ancelotti for company.

But Carlo doesn’t look so comfortable. Maybe it’s because he’s trying to keep Rafa from tearing into Alex Ferguson to his right.

Fact.

Speaking of Fergie, why is he there and not Louis van Gaal?

Things are pretty crowded down that end of the couch while Manuel Pelligrini doesn’t only have a sizeable lead in the Premier League title race.

He also doesn’t know the meaning of ‘scooching over’ clearly. He’s got enough space at the end there for road frontage.

wtf

And the meeting even had space for our favourite referee of all time to make an appearance.

We can only hope the craic in the bar after is going to be 90.
