After revealing last week that he would like to manage his beloved Liverpool one day, Jamie Carragher's bid for the Reds' bench has received backing from current incumbent Rafael Benitez.
Carragher declared last week in a newspaper interview that it is his ambition to be employed as Liverpool manager once his playing days are over.
The 30-year-old has been at Anfield for his entire career, and as such, commands the type of adulation reserved for 'one-club' men.
The defender is known to be an astute observer of the game, and his current manager believes that he has the credentials to make it in management.
Carragher's unwavering commitment to the Liverpool cause and his increasing knowledge of the game all make him a capable successor to a long-line of Liverpool legends.
Benitez told the club's official website: "I think he has the qualities to be a Liverpool manager, he could be ready in 10 or 15 years.
"His commitment is 100 percent. He has a really good mentality in every training session and during games - every player in a top side like Liverpool has to have a mentality like his. Maybe he thinks about football more than even me.
"When you have more experience you sometimes try to be just with your family and think about other things. He loves football, he enjoys playing and talks about it all the time, I think he has many good qualities."
