Pellegrino to join the Reds

Mauricio Pellegrino is set to return to Liverpool as a coach. This will come as no surprise to Reds fans as they know he was instrumental in the team understanding the zonal marking system better during his short stay in 2005. He was also popular with the younger players. Pellegrino will be the second summer addition to Rafas backroom staff after Sammy Lee was appointed assistant manager in May

Benitez said: 

"His role will be first-team coach, and he'll also carry out specialist training sessions," said the boss.
 
"He can also work specifically with the defence, and also the reserves.
 
"Pellegrino has a winning mentality. He won the Intercontinental Cup before going to Spain with Barcelona and Valencia.
 
"He has a lot of passion. When I asked him to come he was very pleased, but first he wanted to find out if there was a school where his three children could play good football. He is a football man."

Obvious now the reason Rafa brought him to the club in the first place. Shouldnt be suprised hes back in a coaching capasity, was well liked by all the players , liked the story that he approached the Milan players after the 2005 final after hearing they disnt want their medals . He handed them to the junior players who didnt get one ,Mellor and the likes.
