Liverpool: Fans flock to Rafael Benitez update

Former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez could be in line for a new job just across the park from Anfield, according to The Telegraph, prompting loads of Reds fans to respond on Twitter.

Looking for a manager since the departure of Carlo Ancelotti to Spanish giants Real Madrid, Everton are hoping to install a new manager ahead of 2021/22 with owner Farhad Moshiri keen to speak to Benitez alongside other candidates [The Sun].

Of course, the Spaniard is regarded as something of a hero amongst the Anfield faithful. Over the course of his six years in Merseyside, he won a UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, Community Shield and UEFA Super Cup [Transfermarkt].

Fresh from a two-year spell in China with Dalian Pro, he is said to be eager for a return to Premier League management [The Telegraph].

Citing the opening at their city rivals, alongside the 61-year-old’s free agent status, loads of Liverpool fans took to Twitter to voice their opinion over these latest developments.
