Benitez was appointed manager in August, a decision that was arguably the most controversial in Everton's history, given the Spaniard's past tenure as coach of fierce rivals Liverpool. "I will not say perfect because we drew against Leeds, but anyway very close to perfect, yes," Benitez told reporters ahead of Saturday's clash against Aston Villa.

"Later on, you could see not so much. The fans were from day one behind their manager... they were very supportive, the fans appreciated that we tried to do our best, me, the players, all the staff here."
