Former Liverpool boss Roy Evans is convinced Rafa Benitez can bring the Premiership title back to Anfield.

"I definitely think Rafa is the man to bring the title back to Anfield," Evans told Liverpoolfc.tv.

"His five years at the club have been very successful; winning the Champions League in his first season here and the FA Cup the following year.

"Obviously the Premier League title is the one everyone wants, but I think we made a fantastic challenge this year.

"We were very close to winning it, and I also feel Rafa is unlucky not to have collected another European Cup with Liverpool.

"We've progressed year after year under him and hopefully next season will be the one that takes us back into the history books."
