Rafael Benítez says he will always have a special bond with the city of Liverpool
Rafael Benítez has admitted his connection with the city of Liverpool remains “very strong” as he prepares to face his first match on Merseyside as Chelsea manager on Sunday.
Since his appointment by Roman Abramovich five weeks ago, the Spaniard has continued commuting to Chelsea’s Cobham training base from his house in Caldy, on the Wirral, which he and his family kept throughout his six years managing Liverpool. The visit to Everton on Sunday afternoon marks his first game in his adopted hometown since leaving Anfield in 2010.
