Liverpool FC Legend Barnes Backs Benitez


Liverpool great John Barnes believes Rafael Benitez remains the right man to lead the Reds forward.

Despite a successful week, Benitez’s future is uncertain, with a new contract still to be agreed despite protracted negotiations.

But Barnes, now coach of the Jamaica national side, said: “I think he is as good as anybody else. I don’t think a new manager coming in would win the league for Liverpool necessarily.

“We all know United have a stronger squad – they are better placed than Liverpool are at the moment.

“So a new manager coming in isn’t necessarily going to improve that situation. I think Rafa’s the right person, definitely.”
