Rafa Benitez today welcomed Sammy Lee back to Anfield - citing his passion and experience as factors in appointing him as his new assistant.

Lee will take up his new position as Benitez's number two with immediate effect, having been confirmed in the role today.
The former Reds midfielder was chosen to join Rafael Benitez's management team after first team coach Alex Miller announced he was quitting the club to work in Japan.
Benitez is delighted that the deal to bring back one of Anfield's favourite sons has been completed so quickly and is now looking to build up a good working relationship with his new number two.
He said: "We are very pleased to have brought Sammy back to Liverpool because he is someone who knows the club really well.
"He also knows about the passion of the club and about the standards that we set here so that will make it much easier for him to settle into his new role.
"But we have not brought Sammy back simply because he used to play for the club and used to work here as a coach.
"He is a very experienced and very well respected coach in his own right and his reputation in football made him the stand out candidate when we knew we were looking for a new member of our coaching staff.
"He will add something different to what we already have and it will be good to work with him.
"I already have a good relationship with him and I will be looking to build on that in the weeks and months to come."
