      The fascinating insight into Liverpool's Spanish football manager Rafael Benitez and an extraordinary season for the club.

      Biographical Portrait of Liverpool''s Spanish football manager Rafael Benitez and an extraordinary season for the club.

      When Rafael Benitez was appointed manager of under-achieving Liverpool at the start of the 2004-2005 season, the reaction of many fans was ''Who the **** is Rafael Benitez?''. The Liverpool fans had grown used to French manager Gerard Houllier but he had been a fan of the club himself since his days as a teacher on Merseyside. A Spaniard with admittedly a wonderful record at Valencia was going to take over management of Liverpool''s famous Boot Room and try and win over a disillusioned Kop.

      But in one season, Benitez''s importation of Spanish players, coaching methods and diet has led to a revolution, even usurping Jose Mourinho''s Chelsea, whereby the team has ended the season winning the ultimate trophy for any European club - the European Champions League. No fan will ever forget the comeback from a 3-0 deficit to a 3-3 scoreline, then dramatic success in the penalty shoot-out.

      This is the story of Rafa''s remarkable success.
