The Spanish head coach is a somewhat forgotten figure in the Anfield club's history, following Jurgen Klopp's Premier League success with Liverpool. But how do the two stack up?
Great piece and agree with everything on the Rafa/Klopp comparison. I would say (as a Liverpool fan), there’s still loads of love for Rafa though. Partly due to Istanbul and very nearly delivering the premier league, but also for all the support and donations for the Hillsborough campaign. There’s one particularly touching clip of him at Anfield for a memorial which is worth checking out ( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WRllRTMU51s) that sums it up well. That’s still there today and he always got a warm welcome when he visited Anfield with other teams.
