Anfield is my dream: Rafael Benitez would love to to return to Liverpool as manager
Rafael Benitez admits 'it would be a dream' to manage Liverpool again in the future. The Spaniard only left Anfield last summer and while his successor Roy Hodgson lasted barely half a season, he himself was similarly unsuccessful at Inter Milan.
Benitez admits Kenny Dalglish is currently doing an impressive job in his role as caretaker boss until the end of the season, but concedes he would jump at the chance to resume his love affair with the Kop.'
'I am really proud of being the manager of Liverpool Football Club and I would like to come back in the future,' said Benitez.
'You never know (when) because Kenny is doing a really good job. It's a question of time. You never know in the future.
'It would be a dream. I would be really pleased to come back in the future.'
Benitez revealed he would consider other offers in England but would never contemplate managing Liverpool's rivals Everton and Manchester United.
'Fans in Liverpool know the teams I would not go (to) but I think these clubs wouldn't offer me a job.
'I'm a professional but obviously some clubs I would not go to, especially the big rivals of Liverpool. I won't say the names, but it's not difficult!'
He wants to bring Liverpool down again?
Start buying all sorts of players only to let them play 5 games a season before selling them off to another team ?

we want him back @ pool, cause with him there, he is going a great service to MUFC/Everton... haha.
The Spaniard was squeezed out at Liverpool by the club's American owners last year and was later sacked as Inter Milan coach.
But he is still highly-regarded after winning the Champions League with Liverpool in 2005.
Villa have drifted into the relegation fight under boss Gerard Houllier.
This is possible.
Why not? He brings top teams down and down teams up :)

So after averaging off in the long run, all the teams he manages will become mid table teams?

Can you imagine Chelsea, Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool all bunched up in the middle of the table from places 9-12?
