All the best , Paco !!!

He's leaving Anfield after some rumoured disagreements with Rafa Benitez .
Anyway , i thought he's one of the main reason why Liverpool is up there at the moment ...
Rumour he's going back to Valencia or maybe as Director of Football @ Bilboa pending on the Bilboa's Presidential election ! -
A bit sad really...How much influence has Pako has in the Liverpool team? That I dun know.
If Pako were like Carlos Queiroz in Man U, then we would face some problems. Remember how Alex Ferguson couldn't manage without him a few seasons ago when Carlos went to Real Madrid to be manager?

The 6-0 win is dedicated to him

For me , soemone important on the training ground is as important as the manager itself .
He implemented the fitness technology at Anfield ..... that determine how good a player's fitness should be week-in week-out .
He left a hole in our management team . -
Rumour is he got too close to Jose...
RAFA BENITEZ fell out with his No2 Pako Ayesteran because he was too matey with bitter rival Jose Mourinho.
The simmering row between the Liverpool management team boiled over after the Premier League clash with Chelsea at Anfield two weeks ago.
And it came to a head when Ayesteran walked out on Thursday.
Boss Benitez was furious when he saw Ayesteran hugging Mourinho and joking after the Londoners had pinched a point through Frank Lampard's controversial penalty.
An Anfield insider told us: "That was about the last straw for Rafa.
"Everyone knows Mourinho is not his favourite person and when he saw Pako showing such affection towards him he saw that as blatant disloyalty.
"There has always been friction between Benitez and Mourinho and Rafa did not take too kindly to one of his staff joking with the opposition manager — especially as he felt Liverpool had been robbed of victory."
Ayesteran also had a bust-up with Benitez during the summer, when he was interviewed for the director of football job at Athletic Bilbao without telling the Reds' chief.
Their hostility deepened when a new fitness coach, Paco de Miguel, was appointed pre-season. Fitness training was a big part of Ayesteran's duties.
The end came when Ayesteran refused to appear in Liverpool's official squad photograph last week, an act Benitez saw as a further sign of his lack of commitment.
Our source said: "There was no going back after the photo incident. Rafa was incensed that such a scene took place in front of the whole squad.
"It is very sad. The two men have worked together for 11 years and were very close." -
paco a spy for chelsea? or just brokeback
-
True or not ? About that Jose and Paco's incident ?
Wow ! So many unhappy incidents ?
Think all rolled up into a major issue that caused him to quit .
11 years partnership ?
I expect this two buddies to be more understanding . -
