Rafa Benitez has vowed to win over Chelsea fans after the news of his appointment was met with a hostile reaction from the Stamford Bridge faithful.

Guardiola

Delighted enough for Benitez to keep his job when former Barcelona boss Guardiola ends his one-year sabbatical from the game? "At this moment, I'm here, I got the job," Benitez said. "Winning games is a guarantee for everything. If you can do it in a row, you can win trophies. "We have won nine trophies. Can we win more? If I go to another country or continent, or a mid-table team, I could do a great job and not win trophies. "Here there are five trophies to win. We will see." Benitez could not escape the suggestion he was only keeping the seat warm for Abramovich's number one target. "I have a very good relationship with Guardiola, a great manager," he added. "What will happen in the future, you never know. "For nearly two years, I was waiting for the right opportunity. Now I have this chance. "I have to do my best to try and take it." He added: "I don't need to win trophies. I would like to win trophies."
