Rafael Benitez: 'The fans won't force me out of Chelsea'

Benitez refuses to quit Chelsea

Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benitez has insisted that he will not give up his job at Stamford Bridge, despite continued unrest from the supporters.

A collection of the Blues fans were heard chanting "Roman Abramovich, is this what you want?" during Chelsea's 3-1 defeat to West Ham United but the former Liverpool boss has claimed that he will not walk away.

When asked by The Independent if he would ever quit due to the disgruntled fans' jeers, Benitez replied: "No. When I decided to come, I knew it was a challenge. We have to win games, and everyone will be happier."

Benitez has had three games in charge of the Blues and secured two draws and a defeat.
