Rafa BENÍTEZ
the authorised biography by Paco Lloret
On May 25th 2005, Liverpool FC won the Champions League Final in one of the most memorable and extraordinary nights of English football.
Rafa Benítez’s success in Spanish football was immense, but now he has surpassed even that success with Liverpool FC’s extraordinary win in the Champions League Final.
This authorised biography of Rafa Benítez is a vivid and lively account of both his personal and professional life, from early days right through to his current achievements with Liverpool. Following his debut in the Real Madrid football school and a modest career as a player, he became a coach, leading both Extremadura and the Tenerife football teams to the first division of Spanish football, before moving to Valencia with whom he won two League titles and the UEFA Cup. A football coach and specialist from early on in his career, his capacity for analysis and hard work has earned him a considerable reputation worldwide. Readers of this fascinating book will gain a real insight into what motivates Benitez, his attention to detail, his man-mangement skills, his sharp football mind and his constant quest to develop the skills of himself and his players.
Author, Paco Lloret has been a sports journalist for over twenty years. Based in Valencia, he is Head of Sport at Canal Nou TV, where he presents a weekly sports programme. He first met Benitez in 1996, through a mutual friend, and has been in frequent contact since, giving him a privileged standpoint to explore the personality and achievements of the manager who led Liverpool to European glory in this year’s Champions League.
