Coaching Career

Following his retirement as a player in 2017, Benito received training as a coach, analyst and sports director in Barcelona and has also been the head coach of RCD Espanyol Academy Helsinki. During training camps in Finland and Sweden during the COVID-19 pandemic, Benito met Spaniard Manolo Márquez. Benito's first coaching job was as an assistant coach for Marquez in 2020, at Indian Super League club Hyderabad FC. [1]

With Hyderabad FC, Benito won his first trophy as a coach, with the club beating Kerala Blasters in the 2021–22 ISL Cup Final. This ISL Cup triumph was also the first trophy in Hyderabad FC's history. [2]

In 2023, Marquez left Hyderabad to join fellow ISL club FC Goa. Benito was also subsequently hired by the club as his assistant. [3]

After a season with the Goan club, Marquez was hired to coach the Indian national team in 2024. As per his contract, he would see out his contract for the 2024–25 season with FC Goa while also being coach of the national team. Benito was hired by the AIFF as Marquez's assistant manager, and, similar to Marquez, he would retain his position as FC Goa assistant manager until the end of the season. [4]
