# Liverpool: Fans flock to Rafael Benitez update

**Former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez could be in line for a new job just across the park from Anfield, according to [The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/06/09/everton-consider-shock-move-former-liverpool-manager-rafa-benitez/?utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_content=football&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1623274365), prompting loads of Reds fans to respond on Twitter.**

Looking for a manager since the departure of Carlo Ancelotti to Spanish giants Real Madrid, Everton are hoping to install a new manager ahead of 2021/22 with owner Farhad Moshiri keen to speak to Benitez alongside other candidates \[[The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/15221302/liverpool-benitez-everton-ancelotti/)\].

Of course, the Spaniard is regarded as something of a hero amongst the Anfield faithful. Over the course of his six years in Merseyside, he won a UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, Community Shield and UEFA Super Cup \[[Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rafa-benitez/erfolge/trainer/1522)\].

Fresh from a two-year spell in China with [Dalian Pro](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/jan/23/rafa-benitez-china-dalian-pro), he is said to be eager for a return to Premier League management \[[The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/06/09/everton-consider-shock-move-former-liverpool-manager-rafa-benitez/?utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_content=football&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1623274365)\].

Citing the opening at their city rivals, alongside the 61-year-old’s free agent status, loads of Liverpool fans took to Twitter to voice their opinion over these latest developments.
