"Rafael Benitez today revealed he has discussed with his wife the possibility of staying in Liverpool for 15 years!
Benitez has made an instant impact at Anfield since succeeding Gerard Houllier as Liverpool manager, and he says he loves the job so much that he plans to stick around for a very long time.

"My wife is coming round to the idea we're going to stay here 15 years," said Rafa. "She's confident in my ability and the possibilities we have at Liverpool. She knows I have to give this adventure a lot of time."

Benitez has been overwhelmed by the affection shown to him by the fans, and also by the backing he is receiving from the club's board.

He added: "At Liverpool I feel people give the manager a lot of respect. We are safe in the knowledge that everyone in the club supports us and that's important."
-----------------------------------------------------------
Rafa is a great manager, within a couple of months he has already made an impact on us. I wouldn't mind having him for 15 years with us.

I hope he does, cus that will mean he has been a success, and a success at Liverpool means titles, Europe and all the trimmings...

Happy Dayz

He is one of the best coaches in Europe at the moment, along with Maurinho.

The onlu thing is if what if he gets offered to manage either the Spanish national team or Real Madrid when the galacticos are long gone? I hope he won't be tempted when that opportunity comes his way.

He probably just meant to say 5, you know how we can sometimes get numbers in foriegn languages mixed up!! Well that's proably what happened here.... christ though I hope he stays 15 years... it'll mean we're winning everything in site if he stays that long

great news that is, as Leon said if he is here that long it would mean he has been a success, perhaps in the league of Shankly and Paisley?

Benitez is the best manager we have had for nearly 20 years.

Lets hope so, if he last as long as Shanks and longer then Paisley they will need a whole new wing for the trophy cabinent

Raffa is the ONLY manager we've had since Mr Paisley.

Doing a proper job in the proper way.
