Rafa exit confirmed
Rafael Benitez has left Liverpool FC. Both Benitez and the club have now issued formal statements confirming his departure as Reds boss after six seasons. "Rafa will forever be part of Liverpool folklore after bringing home the Champions League following the epic final in Istanbul but after a disappointing season both parties felt a fresh start would be best for all concerned," said club chairman Martin Broughton. "It is very sad for me to announce that I will no longer be manager of Liverpool FC. I would like to thank all of the staff and players for their efforts," said Rafael Benitez. "I'll always keep in my heart the good times I've had here, the strong and loyal support of the fans in the tough times and the love from Liverpool. I have no words to thank you enough for all these years and I am very proud to say that I was your manager. "Thank you so much once more and always remember: You'll never walk alone." Christian Purslow and Kenny Dalglish has been tasked with finding a new manager.
