Benitez signs
new Liverpool deal
Rafael Benitez will now focus on turning Liverpool into
Premiership title contenders having secured his own Anfield
future.
The Spaniard has signed a new four-year deal to keep him on
Merseyside until 2010 having won the Champions League and FA Cup in
his first two seasons.
Benitez was linked with the Real Madrid managerial role last season
with other big European clubs apparently interested
He announced his intention to remain with the club towards the end
of last season and he has now officially put pen to paper on his
new contract.
He told the club's official website: 'I'm delighted to have now
signed the contract.
'There was never going to be a problem once we reached an agreement
last season, and now all the documents have been signed and sent to
the club.'
The deal represents a one-year extension to his original contract
and ensures he remains on Merseyside until 2010.
Benitez continued: 'I'm very happy at Liverpool and hope we can
enjoy more success in the seasons to come.'
The 46-year-old, who took charge almost two years ago, enjoyed a
memorable first season in charge of the Anfield club.
Although Liverpool finished fifth in the Premiership, they finished
2004-05 as kings of Europe after coming from 3-0 down to beat AC
Milan on penalties in the Champions League final in Istanbul.
Last month he led the team to more silverware - courtesy of another
penalty shoot-out. Liverpool won the FA Cup, beating West Ham 3-1
on penalties after the match finished 3-3 following extra time at
the Millennium Stadium.
A third-placed finish in the Premiership means Liverpool have
another chance of glory in next season's Champions League.
Former Extremadura and Valencia boss Benitez is currently on
holiday in Greece but is expected to make further changes to his
personnel in his quest to bring the domestic title back to Anfield
for the first time since 1990.
Liverpool finished nine points behind Premiership champions Chelsea
last season - although they did beat the Blues in the FA Cup
semi-finals at Old Trafford.
The Spaniard has already offloaded compatriot Fernando Morientes,
while French international striker Djibril Cisse is also expected
to leave the club.
