Black Stars and Newcastle United winger, Christian Atsu, has praised Rafael Benitez\u2019s management acumen in guiding the Magpies back to the Premier League after the just a year in the Championship.<\/p>\n
Atsu contributed one goal in Newcastle\u2019s 4-1 win over Preston on Monday which sealed their place in the English top flight next season. For observers, Benitez has strengthened his image as a top class manager with the feat and the fans of the team are very appreciative of his efforts in giving the team Premier League football once again.<\/p>\n
Christian Atsu spoke highly of Benitez\u2019s capabilities in running the team in an interview with the BBC on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cBenitez is a great human being and he was very supportive of the players. I was really happy because he got all the players involved in matches. That is difficult for most managers to do. However, he made sure each and every player had a part to play and everyone is really happy at that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Atsu joined Newcastle on loan from Chelsea at the start of the season but it is unclear if the Magpies will ask for a permanent deal or he will return to Chelsea for maybe another loan spell elsewhere.<\/p>\n
Newcastle will play against Cardiff City and Barnsley in the final two rounds of the Championships.<\/p>\n
