The Spaniard has a very impressive win percentage at Newcastle United.
Football pundit Guillem Balague has taken to Twitter to point out a very important fact about Rafa Benitez’s time at Newcastle so far.
Benitez took charge at St James Park in March following Steve McClaren’s dismissal after a dismal season.
He was unable to keep them in the Premier League as they were relegated to the Championship.

He stayed in the summer and after an extensive rebuild has led the Magpies to the top of the Championship and three points clear of second-placed Brighton and Hove Albion.
His strong start to this season means he currently enjoys the best win percentage of any Newcastle manager and Balague was keen to point that out on Twitter.

The Magpies will now be hoping that Benitez continues to impress for the rest of the season.
They have certainly done so so far, with 11 wins from their 15 games in the Championship so far seeing them to the top of the table.
They will need to maintain that kind of form for the rest of the campaign if they are to make a return to the Premier League at the first time of asking.
