Benitez neuer Liverpool-Coach

[ans]

Rafael Benitez wird neuer Trainer beim englischen Rekordmeister FC Liverpool. Das teilte der Klub heute mit. Benitez, der mit Valencia spanischer Meister und Uefa-Cup-Sieger wurde, übernimmt das Amt von Gerrard Houllier, der nach sechs Jahren als Liverpool-Manager entlassen wurde.

Gute Entscheidung, mit den Reds wird zu rechnen sein.

Hm, einerseits halte ich ihn für einen guten Trainer! Daher wollte ich auch nicht, dass er zu Liverpool wechselt! Allerdings wird es sich sowieso nicht verhindern lassen (LEIDER, gell ian ), dass ein Toptrainer zu den Scousers geht!

Aber warum verpflichtet man Jemanden, der (noch) nicht im englischen Fussball zu Hause ist, wo doch ein absoluter Toptrainer, der eben jenes ist, zu haben wäre? Naja, Herr Ranieri ist mir ja sehr sympathisch, also passt er wohl eh nicht zum Liverpool FC!

Rafael "Rafa" Benitez - der neue Liverpool-Coach

Der 44jährige Spanier, der in den letzten 2 Jahren mit Valencia große Erfolge feierte unterschrieb heute einen 5-Jahres-Vertrag beim englischen Rekordmeister und soll dem Club wieder zu alter Stärke verhelfen und an die vergangenen Erfolge anschließen !!!

Eine tolle Verpflichtung die dem FC Liverpool gelungen ist - bin sehr happy mit dieser Lösung und schon sehr gespannt welche Leute er holen wird und wie sich die Reds unter ihm präsentieren werden

[Starostyak]

Nun ja, sicher eine gute Entscheidung. Wie ans schon sagte, wird mit den Reds zu rechnen sein.

Benitez ist sicher ein Top Mann und man muss ihm auch die Zeit geben, damit er "seine" Mannschaft findet. Gerüchteweise soll er ja auch Aimar mitnehmen, was auf einen Schlag unser Spielmacherproblem lösen würde.

Wenn ich dann aber Namen wie Canizares lese, dann muss das nicht wirklich sein, denn mit Kirkland haben wir wahrscheinlich den zukünftigen Nationaltorhüter im Kader.

Ranieri wäre, neben O'Neill auch mein persönlicher Favorit gewesen, aber mit Benitez kann man nur zufrieden sein.

Jetzt stellt sich eben numehr die Frage, ob Kenny Dalglish als übergeordneter Sportdirektor kommt und wenn ja, wie gut die beiden miteinander harmonieren würden. Auch ist noch nicht klar, wer die klassiche Rolle des Trainers übernimmt. Also lassen wir uns einmal überraschen, aber eigentlich, kanns ja nur nach oben gehen.
