Quique and Jesualdo had the same problem. They are only good on their own countries, where they develop their football culture and tactics.

I've seen some Malaga's game. That's true that Malaga do not have one of the best teams in spanish league. But that's also true he was not very versatile with his team and insisted in some players that, in my opinion, weren't on the best form (e.g Apoño). At least, Jesualdo had the time to find and "create" a little bit of one of my predictions of a great forward in the future - Jose Salomon Rondón. Don't forget this name.

Fresh/Canada, with all of respect, but that's funny your post. Now the benfiquistas weren't at all unhappy with Quique, he was doing a great job at SLB... but Quique prefered to return Spain to stay some months without a job drinking beers and eating "tapas" until someone could hire him.
And yes, SLB was defeated on EL only because of Torres. I would like to remind that Torres had one of their worst seasons last years (and looks that goes on this year), as we can see for e.g the number of goals in EL (only 2, all against SLB). Can we charge SLB EL defeat against Liverpool because of world class striker Torres that curiously had the worst season of his carreer? As still having this season him and all Liverpool team?
SLB lost to their own fault and due to the theater and options of JJ at Anfield.
And Atletico won the competition because they had the best striker in shape of Europe last season - Diego Forlán.

Quique wanted to return to Spain badly so Benfica let him go. The reason why Liverpool passed Benfica and not Atletico was because Fernando Torres was the difference. Torres was there against Benfica but not Atletico and if you watch Liverpool with Torres they are a huge threat and when he's not there it's complicated for Liverpool to score.

Yet was able to win the Uefa cup when Jorge Jesus couldn't. I'm just pointing out Benfica fires good coaches. Porto fires bad ones like Jesualdo. Pinto da Costa looks brilliant after firing Jesualdo. Luis Felipe Vieira looks like a retard for firing Quique.

Did you know that eating excessive amounts of chocolate makes you fat?

Get some help son, Malaga/Jesualdo does not equal Benfica/Quique/Europa League

Didn't Benfica beat Liverpool in 2005 in the Champions League?

He could be Quique Flores. Benfica treated him like shit and he went to Atletico Madrid that beat Liverpool and won the uefa last year... Liverpool was also the team that beat Benfica.

Quique Flores> Benfica

He doesn't have Pinto da Costa buying up referees in Spain like he did in Portugal. This proves that he really is a mule.
