FORMER Liverpool FC boss Rafa Benitez will this week launch his official website in order to help promote the charity Foundation run by his wife.
 
The website, www.rafabenitez.com, will be opened tomorrow and is designed to raise awareness of the Montse Benitez Foundation, which itself launches at the end of the month.
 
Benitez, who spent six years as manager at Anfield before his departure in June 2010, recently announced plans to hold a Gala Dinner at Liverpool’s BT Convention centre next month, with a fans’ Q&A session at the Empire Theatre to follow.
 
The content of Benitez’s website will provide a vehicle for communication with fans by giving details of his biography, career and records achieved at all of the clubs he has managed, as well as giving up to date information on his interviews and thoughts on football.
 



Via his blog he will be writing in-depth technical articles with his thoughts on current trends or matters of interest in football.
 
Ultimately, the website will keep the public informed of events and activities of Montse Benitez’s Foundation, in order to raise awareness and money for local and national charities.
 
The website will be launched on Wednesday in Paris in conjunction with Eurosport, who will also announce Rafa’s new role as an expert commentator on world football with their programme Eurogoals.
 
Benitez will be participating in a TV programme debating football issues alongside Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who is also contributing to Eurosport’s football analysis.

Hope it all goes well for him re the new role at Eurosport & obviously the charity.  However you wonder what his long term plans are.  Surely he'll want to get back into football management you'd have thought, rather than being a pundit for Eurosport?  Maybe it's a year out so to speak or something which is prob not a bad move.

Everytime i see Rafa, on tv or in a newspaper or on a website, i feel a terrible pang of sadness.
Even though i'm happy at where we are now, compared to this time last year, i see a man who was badly let down and undermined on so many levels.
