Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher's shock 'new look' in support of departing Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez

Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher has revealed his dramatic new look in support of former Reds' boss Rafa Benitez.

It was announced on Monday the Spaniard would no longer take charge of the Magpies and will leave at the expiration of his contract later this month.

Carragher, who won the Champions League final in 2005 under Benitez, shared a comical message of support for the 59-year-old.

The former centre-half posted an hilarious edited image to Instagram of himself with a shaved head and a goatee.

The Sky Sports pundit wrote the caption: "New look in support of Rafa Benitez after his departure from Newcastle."

Fans of the Magpies have launched a 'RafaAppreciationWeek' hashtag on Twitter to show their appreciation for the Madrid-born coach who steered them back to the Premier League in 2017.
