Rafael Benitez has announced that he is seeking a return to management in the Premier League.
Benitez, 50, is currently unemployed after a disappointing spell with European champions Inter came to an end as the side fell off the pace in Serie A and finished second, behind Tottenham, in their Champions League group.
Having secured title successes with Valencia in 2002 and 2004 as well as the UEFA Cup, Benitez clinched the Champions League during a six-year spell with Liverpool, and he has now revealed he is seeking a return to England.
"The priority is the Premier League," he told BBC Radio 5 Live. "To have a project, a business plan, a methodology of what you want to do and how to improve a club. It has to be a good club."
Inter striker Samuel Eto'o revealed this week that Benitez had left the club after he lost the dressing room.
Asked what mistake Benitez made, Eto'o replied: "Until the match against Juventus [a 0-0 draw on October 3], we had been playing well.
"Then something happened in the dressing room, which I will keep to myself, and things ended up as they did."

why do you pool fans want him to take over united?
shouldnt you guys give him credit for helping liverpool win the CL?
wonder what club next he'll destroy?
could be Villa since Houllier will kana sack soon
"It has to be a GOOD club"
Ah Ben have a strong sense of self-belief and ignorant of his critics.
Wonder which GOOD club would employ him if he go back to his old ways of demanding the owner to buy buy buy.
Even though he is given a championship team, he still want to buy buy buy.

why would lerner give houllier 30 mil to spend in jan if he was going to sack him....
don't write him off......he will learn from mistakes. There are many ups and downs in his managerial career.
Ah Hou is still a good coach and Villa have a strong youth team that nearly slaughter Man Utd.
So, Villa will recovered from the slide.
The only club that will employ Ah Ben are the Blackburn Rovers.

Hey didn't you know that Blackburn boss is sack prove? The new owners had just given him a new 2 1/2 yrs contract and said they won't sack him for the duration of his contract even if he takes them down... That's why you see all their players are getting behind him now cos he is there to stay for the long haul so they won't see the point of going against him or not supporting him... lol.
Seems like it's working for them... lol.
ah ben goes around cheating early contract termination compensation leh, how come nobody realise it
he goes to a new club and start to niam niam when no money to buy players and get himself sack... cycle repeat

shopping addiction.. only the arabs can support lor.
Unless RM employed him when Jose resigned, I dun think he want to go back to Spain to be a coach.
As for the BPL, the chances of him being employed is quite high as most of the managers are on the verge of being sacked.

Provided those managers getting the sack are at clubs he thinks are good enough for him right?
Remember, "It has to be a GOOD club"
let him fulfil his FM aspirations by taking charge of man city if the city owners is fedup of Mancini reign.
Rafa is the only coach in the world that makes more money getting fired..................
Damn, he is taking over from Ancelloti...that's why Torres wanting to move to Chelsea, LOL
