Rafa Benitez
Rafael Benitez Profile
Club: Liverpool
Date of Birth: April 4, 1960
Birthplace: Madrid, Spain
Previous clubs: Valencia, Tenerife, Extremadura, Osasuna, Real Valladolid, Real Madrid B
Honours: Spanish Championship: 2004, 2002; UEFA Cup: 2004
Profile:
Rafael Benitez's playing career never really got going, but the man in the Anfield hot seat has a managerial CV to match most.
Believe it or not, Benitez was on Real Madrid's books as a player. After joining the Spanish giants as a youngster in 1974, Benitez hung around for seven years in the hope of getting a first team game.
Unfortunately, he had no such luck and left in 1981 without having played a single game. The 21-year-old Benitez moved on to Third Division side Parla, helping them to promotion in 1983.
After joining Segunda B side Linares, Benitez endured a lengthy spell on the sidelines which saw to the end of his playing days. He hung up his boots in 1986 and returned to Real Madrid, this time as a coach.
'Rafa' worked his way up through the Real junior teams, and soon had control of the under-19s. The early highlight of his managerial apprenticeship came in 1994 when he led Real Madrid's B side to seventh in Spain's second division.
Vicente Del Bosque took note of Benitez's talents and allowed him to end the 1995 season as his assistant. Benitez was earning a sound reputation as a calm and calculating tactician, impressing Del Bosque with the training sessions he put on.
He got his first major job when he took up the managerial post at Valladolid but was sacked after a disastrous 23 games, which had left the team at the bottom of the Primera Liga.
He failed to impress, either, at Osasuna, winning just one game out of nine during his brief tenure as boss. After two consecutive failures in management, Benitez was granted the chance to resurrect his career with second division Extremadura in 1997.
Benitez had bucked up his ideas and he led them to promotion, finishing an excellent second in the table. However after only one season his team was relegated, losing a play-off to Villarreal.
Not one to stomach a fight at that stage in his career, Benitez decided to take a year out in England and Italy to brush up on his coaching skills and add a few more qualifications to his CV.
He returned from his sabbatical in 2001 a new man, and Valencia were so impressed by his application to replace Hector Cuper that he got the job, one of the top ones in Spain.
Benitez was a surprise choice, and Valencia fans were disgruntled. However the quiet mannered Benitez inherited a very talented squad, and brought the first league title in 31 years to the Mestalla.
The success of the 2001/02 season was not followed up in similarly sensational fashion, as they faded away to fifth place. A quarter-final place in the Champions League appeased most doubters however.
With the talents of Aimar, Mista, Baraja, Ayala, Angulo, and Canizares at his disposal, Benitez got Valencia back on track the following season. And in some style too, as he clinched their first ever double by winning the league and the UEFA cup.
After three very successful years with the Spanish club, the ambitious Benitez was contacted by Liverpool, and his contract at Valencia was cancelled by mutual consent at the start of June 2004.
Liverpool got their man, a surprise choice to many, when Benitez was appointed later that month. It was clear from the outset of his reign that the Spaniard would have to stay calm and focused even if results didn't go his way. Ominously, Houllier had a similar approach.
Allegedly Benitez once described himself as a 'loner with a laptop' due to the amount of time he spent alone masterminding tactics on a computer - he is obsessed by football, and by his job, in a similar way to the other continental manager to arrive in England over the summer - one Jose Mourinho (whom, as rumour has it, Liverpool approached before Benitez).
Benitez finds himself in one of the most high pressure jobs around - there will be little time for him to settle, and results will be demanded straight away. Nobody was expecting him to muscle into the top three immediately (except Steven Gerrard perhaps - who looks set to leave unless Liverpool improve drastically), but failing to deliver Champions League football would be a massive disappointment.
One of Benitez's first actions was to help Michael Owen through the Anfield exit door. The loss of the striker leaves a huge void - would the temperamental Cisse be the right man to get Liverpool's goals?
On his early form, the Frenchman and Baros could form a formidable partnership. Much of this will depend on the supply line - mainly Steven Gerrard, who expressed disappointment at the sale of Owen.
Benitez has had four very successful seasons in management behind him, and despite a couple of disappointing ones his lengthy apprenticeship at Real Madrid should stand him in good stead when it comes to dealing with some of the Premiership's hottest talent.
He got the best out of his players at Valencia, and if he can repeat the trick with the Reds, the loner and his laptop might find themselves on the road to success.
