Carragher: Rafa Won't Go To Real
-
Jamie Carragher expects manager Rafael Benitez to stay at Liverpool despite him being linked with Real Madrid again.
Benitez won the Champions League and FA Cup in his first two seasons at Anfield, and after leading the Reds into the last eight in Europe once again this week, rumours persist of interest from the Spanish giants.
However, Carragher told his club's website that he believes that the boss is here to stay - and that he can build a dynasty at Anfield. "Rafa wouldn't get anything better than Liverpool, or I wouldn't think so," Carragher said of the tabloid rumours that Real may be interested.
"He can buy his own players here. He's one of the best managers around. He proved that at Valencia, and he's already proved it here. Hopefully we can go on again over the next few years and win more things.
"All the players enjoy working with him. I'm sure you can see the difference he's made over the last few years, especially in Europe. Next season we want to push on and do well in the Premiership as well." -

REAL MADRID have made Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez their No1 target to succeed Fabio Capello... The bombshell news will shake Anfield in the wake of the Reds' latest triumph — the victory over Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League.
This new scenario unfolded after a long meeting in Munich after Real's Champions League exit at Bayern on Wednesday. It ended with sporting director Pedja Mijatovic being instructed by president Ramon Calderon to find a Spanish boss to replace the Italian.
Benitez, 46, is the leading candidate to land a three-year deal after his success with Valencia. There has already been a meeting between Benitez and Mijatovic last month, when the Kop chief's options were discussed in light of the Reds takeover by Americans George Gillett and Tom Hicks.
Real were sufficiently encouraged to think that they can prise Benitez away from Anfield. His agent Manuel Garcia Quilon: "I am in constant contact with Real on many subjects but have to be secret about any theme."
Benitez said: "Real Madrid? I know the club perfectly — it is one of the best in the world and certainly for any Spanish coach it will be a dream to be on their bench.
"It is impossible to discard this but many things would need to pass." -
