Even though he won’t likely be the only former Red on the market at the end of the season, Liverpool fans are still in mourning over the loss of Jurgen Klopp this summer.
“After eight months of absolute dedication and total commitment, but in which the team has not obtained the results expected by the club,” reads the report on rccelta.es about Rafael Benítez and his staff leaving RC Celta.
This revelation confirms that Rafa Benitez’s somewhat disappointing stint back in Spain is over, coming after Roy Hodgson’s resignation from Crystal Palace last month.
There are obviously concerns about Celta Vigo losing out on promotion, as they are now two points above the relegation zone in 17th place.
The 63-year-old would have been certain to retain Celta in La Liga, but he will not get the opportunity to demonstrate his abilities.
This is after the same man, who won the Champions League at Anfield in 2005, managed Everton to identical failure.
Given that the family of the former manager of Newcastle and Chelsea still resides on the Wirral in Merseyside, a return to the family home is now inevitable.
It will be intriguing to observe whether a coach who appears to be past his prime decides to return to the Premier League.
