A statement was released on Monday that said Newcastle had been unable to reach an agreement to extend the popular coach’s current deal.

He will depart on June 30th after spending more than three seasons at St. James’ Park while building up a remarkable rapport with the fans, who will now hold owner Mike Ashley responsible.

These were the best tweets and jokes after it was announced that Rafa Benítez will leave Newcastle:

Mike Ashley: 'Rafa, do you want a massive Sports Direct bag to put all of your stuff in?'

Rafa Benitez: 'Thanks Mike, very kind. You're not so bad after all.'

Mike Ashley: 'You're welcome. That'll be £1.'

Rafa Benitez is to leave Newcastle United. Owner Mike Ashley can now steam ahead with his plan to really run the club into the ground.

I’d be very OK with it if Rafa just took up full time instagram influencing now tbh. pic.twitter.com/sEAFq5V3ME

I like to imagine Rafa Benitez, Arsene Wenger, Max Allegri and Jose Mourinho sitting down for a nice meal and talking some football… maybe taking a friendly bet on which one will get a job next…

Rafa Benitez leaves. That's when the begging starts. They'll come to me & say, Ooh Steve you were right all along, you were the right man for this job. Will you come back? I'll be like, yeah sure how much money you got? Because this is going to cost you, this is going to cost you pic.twitter.com/zmceDnUyiD

Benitez: Leave with dignity. Everyone knows you’re not the issue here.

It says a lot about Newcastle football club that Rafa Benitez is walking away to take up a head waiter role at a tapas bar
