RAFA SCOOPS TOP BOSS PRIZE FOR JANUARY Mark Platt 10 February 2007 Rafael Benitez has won the Barclays Manager of the Month award for January. He has been rewarded for steering Liverpool to four straight league wins during the past month. In this time the Reds defeated Bolton (3-0), Watford (3-0), Chelsea (2-0) and West Ham (2-1). "It's been a very happy new year for the red half of Merseyside," said Jim Hytner of the Barclays Awards Panel. "Undefeated and just one goal conceded in the Premiership this year, Benitez has revitalised Liverpool's campaign." The decision was made by the Barclays Awards Panel, which includes representatives from football's governing bodies, the media and fans. This is the third time Benitez has scooped the award, the other previous occasions being in November and December 2005.
