Gary Ablett has been explaining how he managed to land
the role as reserves team
manager.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with LFC.TV, Ablett talked about
how Rafa interviewed him for the job.
He said: "I'd heard of the unfortunate circumstances as to why Gary
McAllister had turned the job down and I knew the manager was
looking for someone with a background and who had played at this
club and knew what the club meant.
"I just thought there was no harm in applying so I sent my CV in
and a couple of days later Rafa called me and said 'would you like
to come in?'
"I was interviewed for an hour and a half and found it fascinating
to be quite truthful.
"He grilled me on the tactics board so obviously he wanted to see I
knew what I was doing.
"I waited for 10 days, maybe two weeks, before I got another call
asking me to come in when he asked me to do a plan of the season
for him, which I did for the young players.
"Four to five days later I was asked to come in again and was told
that the job was mine."
