He was great a at Valencia many moons ago with an attacking style and a great young team. They actually won La Liga pretty comfortably in 2002 and he would win the UEFA cup as well. On the strength of that Benitez got the Liverpool job and did pretty well at first and won Champions.

Since then, it has been a decline including a disastrous performance at Madrid in 2015 where he alienated nearly every player in the locker room; including a famous training session where he stopped practice to chastise Luca Modric for using his outside foot on passes. If I had to guess it will be back to China for Mr. Rafa.
