Omid Djalili, comedian and ardent Chelsea supporter, says interim manager Rafa Benitez does not deserve too much stick for 'being honest' after his rant at the club's hierarchy and supporters.

Djalili insists Benitez, who confirmed he will leave Stamford Bridge in the summer during the outburst on Wednesday, is doing a much better job than people think and urges fans to get behind the Spaniard for the rest of the time he has left in charge.
