Carragher has declared that he would like to be a manger once his playing days are over.
Benitez told the club’s official website: “I think he has the qualities to be a Liverpool manager, he could be ready in 10 or 15 years.
“His commitment is 100 percent. He has a really good mentality in every training session and during games – every player in a top side like Liverpool has to have a mentality like his. Maybe he thinks about football more than even me.
“When you have more experience you sometimes try to be just with your family and think about other things. He loves football, he enjoys playing and talks about it all the time, I think he has many good qualities.”
