Benitez's decisions were utterly baffling last year and his style was turgid, he didn't trust young players, made poor transfers, and played on the emotions of fans by painting the owners as the biggest villains (admittedly they are bad). He was excellent in the early part of his Liverpool stay but I think he pretty much lost the plot towards the end. There was no point keeping him when the players seemed to have lost all faith in him.
