Rodolfo Borrell today thanked Reds fans for their support during his time at the club – and paid a heartfelt tribute to the people of Liverpool.

Rodolfo, who arrived on Merseyside in July 2009, had previously spent 13 years coaching youngsters at Barcelona's La Masia.

"I knew before I arrived that Liverpool FC was a very special club," said Rodolfo. "I have now seen that this is an understatement.



"I have enjoyed every moment in this wonderfully strong and independent city and my heartfelt gratitude goes to all of the players and staff that I've had the privilege of working with.



"I'd like to say a special thank-you to the club's supporters. Things change at football clubs all the time. This is part of the game.



"There are exciting times to come for Liverpool supporters and I'd like to wish Brendan, his staff, and the players, all the best for the future. YNWA."
