Arsenal fans believe Rafa Benitez would be a good appointment until the end of the season.
The former Liverpool and Newcastle manager was part of Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football coverage for the game and impressed a lot of people with his comments on the show.
Benitez spoke at length about the prospect of returning to the Premier League and while he seemingly ruled himself out of the running for the Arsenal job, these Gunners fans believe he might still be a good option.

Read Arsenal verdict
Benitez’s experience certainly shone through while he was speaking on Monday Night Football.
He spoke very articulately about the game and it was a timely reminder to everyone exactly what he has achieved during his career.
Following his spell with Newcastle in the Championship and lower regions of the Premier League, it can be easy to forget that this is a former Champions League-winning manager.
He has the experience of ‘steadying the ship’ after doing a similar job at Chelsea and his know-how could be a great asset for Arsenal to bring in on a short-term deal if they don’t feel like the right manager is ready to come in now.
