Let's get it started:
The former Liverpool boss replaced Roberto Di Matteo who was sacked on Wednesday after eight months in charge.
Benitez won the cup with Inter soon after taking over and could do so again with Chelsea next month.
Ferguson said: "On his CV he could have two world championships and nothing to do with the construction of the teams."
The Club World Cup is contested between champion clubs from all six of the world's continental confederations.
Ferguson added: "Rafael Benitez is very lucky. Jose Mourinho won the treble at Inter; Rafa took over and they won the world title without having to do anything."
Di Matteo was sacked despite having won the Champions League and FA Cup in his short tenure.
"Everyone feels for Roberto Di Matteo, and quite rightly," Ferguson said. "It's quite amazing that you win the FA Cup and the Champions League [and lose your job]."
But first up for Benitez is a home match in the league against Manchester City.
"I hope he is lucky on Sunday too," said Ferguson.

How long until Benitez shows up whimpering and starts spitting out ridiculous "facts".
