Career in Pictures: Rafa Benitez’s spell as Liverpool manager

May is here and we still don’t know who will lift this season’s Premier League title as Manchester City and Liverpool battle it out to be crowned champions of England.

The Reds have been going toe-to-toe with the defending champions all season in one of the most thrilling campaigns we’ve ever known.

Jurgen Klopp’s side sit on 91 points but still find themselves a point behind Pep Guardiola’s City with two games left to play.

Whether or not the Merseyside outfit win their first Premier League title later this month, the German boss has firmly endeared himself to the Anfield faithful since taking in 2015.

Klopp’s Liverpool are well in with a chance of winning the title.

Another manager to be held in high regard by Liverpool fans is former chief Rafa Benitez, who could put a huge dent in his former club’s title dreams this weekend when the Reds travel to Newcastle United.

The popular Spaniard, who has once again secured the Magpies’ top-flight status, was in the hotseat at Anfield for six years between 2004-10 and his teams produced some memorable moments.

Ahead of Saturday night’s big clash at St James’ Park, where Newcastle have won six of their last seven Premier League matches, we take a look back at Rafa Benitez’s Liverpool career in pictures.
