Rafa Benitez has turned on Chelsea supporters and confirmed he will not be at the club next season.
Benitez, who was once again targeted by a section of his own club's support during their 2-0 FA Cup fifth round victory at Middlesbrough, was in defiant mood after the game.
He said: "I have been in charge in football for 26 years. I have won the Champions League, won the FIFA Club World Cup, the FA Cup, the Italian Super Cup, the Spanish league twice, nine trophies, all the trophies you can win at club level.
"A group of fans, they are not doing any favors for the team when they are singing and wasting time preparing banners. It's because someone made a mistake. They put my title (as) 'interim manager', and I will leave at the end of the season, so they don't need to waste time with me.
Benitez said some fans have had an ''agenda'' against him ever since he joined the club, mainly due to him having managed Liverpool earlier in his career.
"They have to concentrate on supporting the team, that's what they have to do. In the end, they are not doing any favors to the club, to the rest of the fans and to the players.
"Every game they continue singing and they continue preparing banners, they are wasting time. What they have to do is support the team.
"If we cannot achieve what we expect to achieve, that is to be in the top four and be in the Champions League for next year, I will leave; they will stay in the Europa League."
Benitez spent most of his pre-match news conference ahead of the game against Middlesbrough playing down reports of a bust-up with players at a training session after Sunday's 2-0 loss at Manchester City.
''I am the manager and I will be managing the team I like to manage - players and no names,'' Benitez said Wednesday.
''I have proved in these three months that I want to win every single game,'' he added. ''If a group of fans continue their agenda ... they are not making any favors for the team.''
