Paco don't go!

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is desperately trying to retain the services of coach Paco Herrera beyond the end of this season. The reserve team boss plans to return to Spain for family reasons when his two year Anfield contract expires this summer.

As one of Benitez's trusted lieutenants, his departure would be a huge loss to the backroom staff. Of immeasurable significance is Herrera's close relationship with Benitez. Many have dubbed Paco 'the eyes of Benitez' due to his understanding of how the manager thinks and works.
