Benitez fights to keep homesick Herrera

RAFAEL BENITEZ is fighting to keep a key member of his Spanish backroom staff at Anfield.

Chief scout and reserve team boss Paco Herrera always intended to return home after spending two seasons helping Benitez’s rebuilding programme.

Whereas Benitez and his assistant Pako Ayesteran have both brought their families to England, Herrera’s have stayed in Spain.
