But Benitez said the behind-the-scenes upheaval is not the cause of the current slump and has spread his former colleague's work-load among the rest of his coaching and technical staff.
"I do not believe that the management changes have affected the situation," the Liverpool manager said.
"We have been analysing the data regarding our players and we are running more, covering more ground and our physical condition is fantastic," he said.
"With regards to the coaching, I was coaching with the team before. I am not a traditional English manager sitting in an office, I am always on the pitch with the players," Benitez said.
"I was on the pitch before, I was on the pitch today and I will be on the pitch tomorrow," he said.
