The Liverpool Boss, who delievered the fifth Champion League
title for Liverpool in his first season, back in 2004,
Istanbul.
Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez's wife has revealed that
her family are so happy on Merseyside that it now feels like more
of a home than their native Spain.
In a rare interview with her husband on, local radio station,
City Talk 105.9, Montse Benitez added that youngest daughter Agata
has even developed a Scouse accent, asking for ‘butties’ after
school.
The pair, who rarely speak in public together, were revealing to
interviewer Steve Hothersall what life is like away from the game
and how Rafa relaxes in between games.
But it was his better half providing the notable one-liners,
revealing Rafa was planning tactics from the an early age, even
during their first dinner date.
Mrs Benitez, a law lecturer in Valencia before the family departed
for England said [with a Spanish accent seasoned with a pinch of
Scouse] that she felt England was now more of a home to her than
Spain, and that she often longs to return to her Liverpool abode
during visits to family and friends in her native country.
“People have been so warm to us and we really feel we have found
the right place to bring our children up and enjoy life,” she
said.
“My friends and family are here and we love the club and the area.
We made the decision to move to Liverpool over a weekend and we
really feel that this is where we belong now.”
