Gary Abletthas been explaining how he managed to land the role as reserves team manager.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with LFC.TV, Ablett talked about how Rafa interviewed him for the job.
He said: "I'd heard of the unfortunate circumstances as to why Gary McAllister had turned the job down and I knew the manager was looking for someone with a background and who had played at this club and knew what the club meant.
"I just thought there was no harm in applying so I sent my CV in and a couple of days later Rafa called me and said 'would you like to come in?'
"I was interviewed for an hour and a half and found it fascinating to be quite truthful.
"He grilled me on the tactics board so obviously he wanted to see I knew what I was doing.
"I waited for 10 days, maybe two weeks, before I got another call asking me to come in when he asked me to do a plan of the season for him, which I did for the young players.
"Four to five days later I was asked to come in again and was told that the job was mine."
