After contract talks which have been a major talking point for the last few months Rafael Benitez has finally signed a new deal which will keep him at the club until 2014.
Rafael Benitez was quoted on the club website as saying""My heart is with Liverpool Football Club, so I'm delighted to sign this new deal, I love the club, the fans and the city and with a club like this and supporters like this, I could never say no to staying. I always made clear I wanted to be here for a long time and when I complete my new contract it will mean I have spent over a decade in Liverpool."
"The club is greatly respected around the world due to its incredible history and tremendous heritage. It is my aim to uphold those values and help create a new chapter in our history."

Chambers casts aside doubters and sets his sights on world record
Today, at the European Indoor championships in Turin, Dwain Chambers recorded an impressive 6.42 seconds in the semi-finals. This followed a field leading 6.53 secs in the first round which left his competitors trailing. Despite a false start from Italy's Fabio Cerutti, Chambers got an impressive start and by 30m was up on the field and continued to motor away from the other competitiors, before finishing in the third quickest time ever. Only Maurice Greene and Andre Cason have run quicker and when asked to comment on whether he would be going for Greene's world record in tomorrow's final he said "lets just wait and see." Chambers will need to improve his time by 0.04 of a second to beat Greene's world record of 6.39, but he looks the sure favourite to win gold tomorrow.
Also through to the final for Britain were Simeon Williamson who ran an impressive 6.61 to win the first semi-final, and Craig Pickering who ran 6.63 to finish fourth behind Chambers. Both will be vying for a medal, but all eyes will be on Chambers and his world record attempt.
