Benitez likely to continue with Newcastle

Much has been said about Rafael Benítez's future. It surmounts to suggestions that he could continue with the Magpies.

The coach confirmed that he is already talking to Newcastle about its possible renewal. It only remains, of course, for them both to agree.

One main reason behind Benitez's request to continue could be that he wants to have a competitive squad next year.

If Newcastle can promise that he will, Rafael Benítez would say yes. It remains to be seen if both parties agree and seal it with a new contract for the Spaniard.
