As we prepare for Monday night’s Merseyside derby, one man who has managed both clubs, is asked about his time at Liverpool and Everton – Rafa Benitez.
“I feel at home in Merseyside, my family is completely at home here and that is important,” he said. “The Liverpool fans are still kind and close today, many of the Everton fans know what actually happened and are, let’s say, friendly.
“My best moment with Liverpool was the Champions League in 2005, along with many other good memories; the worst moment was the feeling towards the end that something was changing for the worse and that I had to leave.
“I can’t say I’m more Liverpool or Everton today. Logically, in six years there were a lot of highs at Liverpool, but I still have good friends amongst the Everton fans.”
