      The Spanish tactician still has a soft spot for the Toon and proved it on Twitter after the Tyneside giants made it to the Champions League for the first time in 20 years.
      However, the ex-Liverpool boss put together a funny typo as he mistook the iconic “Howay the lads” slogan with a famous cowboy greeting and wrote “Howdy the lads”.
      Benitez issued a photo showing Newcastle players as well as manager Eddie Howe celebrating and tweeted: “Congratulations to all involved. Howdy the lads.”
      The ex-Real Madrid manager quickly realised his mistake and deleted the tweet.

      But some Newcastle fans managed to get a screenshot and enjoyed some friendly banter as they still appreciated the gesture from their former manager.
      One fan tweeted: “Rafa Benitez tweeted “Howdy the lads!” Instead of “Howay the lads!” Yeehaw.”
      Another posted: “I reckon howdy the lads might take off y’know, especially on our USA tour in pre-season. Rafa Benitez, marketing genius.”
      A third commented: “Rafa Benitez accidentally tweeting then deleting “Howdy the lads!” is sending me west.”
