FANS WANT RAFA OUT
After Napoli manager Rafa Benitez was targeted by Liverpool fans, which included the hacking of his social networking sites and emails, pictures have been posted online or emails, private messages and photos, shared between Benitez and Maria Solded Cabris, the wife of former player Edinson Cavani. Fans took to forums, social networking sites and spread their message all over the internet, saying that they want Rafa Benitez, who had only taken over in May, gone!
Nevertheless, once the fans had calmed down a bit, along came the icing on the cake. Further emails were posted, discussions between the manager and Uruguayan Cavani. Fans learnt from the emails that Cavani had in fact found out about the fling with Maria, and was truly devastated. As fans read the emails, the shock would have hit many. Edinson Cavani left Napoli because of Rafa Benitez.
The manager, who had only just settled in, was the reason for the club losing their key player, and it infuriated the fans.
#RAFAOUT became the top trend throughout Europe on Twitter, and
We Want Rafa Out Facebook pages received over 30,000 likes within 24 hours. On MySpace, well, MySpace is empty, as always.
Now that the fans have clearly shown both their anger and disappointment about the Italian, it seems the club will be on the hunt for a new manager, although they are yet to comment on the situation regarding Rafa's fling with a player's wife. Maria herself has since claimed she was
"forced into it" and
"scared he would be violent if she sad no to anything". Because of these allegations, the matter will be taken very seriously by Police.
So although we know little about what happened between the pair, we do know the fans want him out, police will investigate further, and Napoli are likely to be hunting for a manager as we speak.
