Rafael Benite has the best for both the future and Jürgen Clopp after the administrator’s hit announcement.Last Friday, Klopp ends for nine years after the end of the season and the land.
In that time, the 56-year-old has transformed the club and won every major honor imaginable. The most notable are the 2019 Champions League and the 2019/20 Premier League.Benitez, who currently manages Celta Vigo in Spain, was the last player to lead Manchester United to the top of Europe before Klopp in 2005.
He spoke to Spanish media about Liverpool’s current situation and said he has inside knowledge of how the process will play out.”I have the advantage of having people at Liverpool and at the club, so I know what it’s like,” Benítez said. “I only say good things about Klopp because he is my friend and I have a good relationship with him.”He has done and continues to do incredible things. All I can say about Klopp and Liverpool is positive.
“I know better than most people what’s going on inside, and that’s worth a lot more. “He’s making his voice heard and giving the club time to rebuild, which is not surprising because he’s very German about giving advance notice.”Let’s hope Liverpool can get by with another manager on board for now. I wish the club all the best.”After Klopp announced he was unfit to continue as Liverpool manager, speculation quickly arose as to who would replace him.
Xabi Alonso, one of Liverpool’s all-time greats and former Benitez player, is the first suitor since the former midfielder impressed in Germany with Bayer Leverkusen. Meanwhile, players such as Roberto De Zerbi (Brighton) and Ruben Amorim (Sporting CP) have also been linked with the Anfield hot seat.
