Steven Gerrard confesses he was "surprised and shocked" Rafa Benitez took the Everton managerial post given his "legacy" with rivals Liverpool.
The Aston Villa boss also admits he is "disappointed" for the Spaniard after he was sacked by the Toffees last week, just six-and-a-half months into the job.
Benitez was unveiled as Everton boss at the end of June and last Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Norwich proved to be the final game of his calamitous tenure.
