The Republic of Ireland striker makes his second debut for Tottenham against Arsenal on Sunday, having returned after just six months on Merseyside.
Keane scored just five times for Liverpool and on several occasions failed to make the substitutes' bench. He was sold back to Spurs on Monday in a deadline-day transfer worth up to £15 million.
He said: "Things happen for a reason. I went there and it didn't work out and now I'm back here.
"I never regret things I have done in football. I am back here now at a fantastic club with a fantastic manager."
It has been claimed that Benitez never wanted to sign Keane, and that the Liverpool board was the driving force behind his £20m capture last summer.
Keane acknowledged that the Spaniard did not appear to rate him highly and said his recent lacklustre performances were down to a lack of first-team football.
"When you are in and out of the team it is never easy," he added. "You need to play regularly to get your sharpness but sometimes a manager just doesn't fancy you.
"I found it difficult to take to be left out of the squad but I worked every day in training and I have moved on now and I am looking forward to the challenge at Spurs.
"Sometimes the grass is not always greener on the other side.
