I'll translate it for you below
L'Espagnol Rafael Benitez, qui a quitté la saison dernière Liverpool pour l'Inter Milan, a affirmé jeudi qu'il rêvait de retourner au club de la Mersey avec lequel il a remporté une Ligue des champions.
"Je suis vraiment fier d'avoir été manager de Liverpool et j'aimerais y retourner dans l'avenir, a en effet déclaré le technicien espagnol sur Sky Sports. "On ne sait jamais ce que peut vous réserver l'avenir, d'autant que Kenny (Dalglish) fait du bon travail. Mais je serais vraiment heureux d'y retrouver. Ce serait alors un rêve" (devenu réalité).
Rafael Benitez a quitté les Reds à la fin de la saison dernière sans pouvoir les qualifier pour la Ligue des champions, un trophée qu'il avait remporté avec les Reds en 2005 après une finale à suspense devant l'AC Milan.
Le technicien, sans club depuis son renvoi de l'Inter en décembre, a également ajouté qu'il accepterait l'offre de n'importe quel club anglais en dehors de deux grands rivaux de Liverpool, Everton et Manchester United.
"Les fans de Liverpool connaissent les noms des clubs que je n'accepterais jamais de diriger. Mais je pense que ces clubs, que je ne citerai pas, ne feraient jamais appel à moi", a conclu Rafael Benitez.

Spaniard Rafa Benitez, who left Liverpool last season for Inter Milan, reaffirmed on Thursday that he'd love to return to the Merseyside club with which he won a Champions League trophy.
"I'm really proud to have managed Liverpool, and I would like to return there in the future", said the tactician on Sky Sports, "nobody knows what will happen in the future. Kenny at the moment is doing a good job, but I'd be very happy to return, it'd be a dream."
Rafa left the Reds last season after having failed to qualify for the Champions League, a trophy he won in 2005 after an intense final against AC Milan.
The manager, without a club since his departure from Inter in December, has said he would accept a job at any club in England, aside from Manchester United and Everton.
"The Liverpool fans know the names of the clubs that I would never manager, not that these clubs would ever call to me", he concluded.

The jury is still out on the currant returning manager, it's a romantic notion but reality soon kicks in.
I'm feeling that a fresh option might be best if Kenny steps down. I would like to see Brendan Rodgers the man is into playing football as it should be played.

As jimmy points out, Rafa wants absolute power. He certainly would struggle to work with a director of football and I'm unsure whether I would want him back. I'm also unsure how some of the players miay feel with about a Rafa return. I certainly don't think the captain would be head over heels with joy.
If Kenny doesn't work out I feel we need a younger man with no sentimental connotations to the club whatsoever.
What I'm really hoping that Kenny is backed in the market in the summer and he brings in the players to make us more competitive in the league. starting with a striker and a right sided forward/winger.

There's no realistic younger manager at the moment. Lets be realistic and not think there's a perfect young manager waiting somewhere. Rafa should never have been sacked in the first place..

would Rafa want as much control? I don't think so.
I don't think he'd be as concerned with the new owners as he was the last clowns.

I can't believe people keep talking about what the likes of Daily Fail made up. When Rafa wanted full control, it was more of full control of the first team, reserve and academy. Understandable as the academy was poor.
People should stop going about how he wanted full control of tranfers as that never happens in any club. Transfer process involves scouts, chairman, manager, etc, not just the manager.

I don't think Rafa would have anywhere near as many problems with Comolli as he had with Parry.
Parry was a grade A muppet.

Rafa only wanted full control of transfers because:
A: rick parry refused to go after a lot of now great players because he dident agree with their price tag.. Even when we had funds.
B: the cowboys were asset stripping us, taking money for players without reinvesting it.
Its well documented that rafa liked to make signings based on statistics, its how he identified alonso and masch (remember masch couldn't get in the west hame team, and alonso was at a lesser spanish team) arbeloa too.
Its why rafa WAS good in the transfer market often turning profits even before amortisation was taken into account.
I would LOVE his return, he has time on his side, kenny doesn't.

My last post was missing something,
Rafa would work well with the current setup as a result of his use of statistical purchases.
