Benitez speaks with typical candour as he discusses the challenges he faced when appointed Liverpool boss in 2004. He opens up to co-hosts Peter McDowall and Robbie Fowler about how he approached shaping a squad that would win the Champions League in his debut season and the FA Cup in 2006.
He provides an insight into his meticulous attention to detail, revealing he was planning Liverpool’s future even during the open-top bus parade after Istanbul.
The Spaniard also speaks in-depth about his move to Everton and whether he was concerned it could affect his legacy at Anfield.
