Uncertain future: Rafa Benitez


Rafa Benitez remains coy about his future, fuelling speculation he wants to return to the Premier League next season.
Benitez has refused to discuss his plans beyond the end of this season when his two-year deal with Napoli expires.
The Liverpool legend joined Napoli from Chelsea and is understood to be keen on returning to England, where his wife and two daughters still live from his six years in charge at Anfield.
Benitez insists his only focus is only helping Napoli to success as they chase a Champions League place and glory in the Coppa Italia and Europa League.
"In April, we're scheduled for no less than eight games, and they're all very important, even crucial," he said.

"And then another eight or nine in May. We're still competing in three different tournaments and this club has the opportunity to reach great objectives.
"We are at a very important juncture for Napoli and I have to stay focused and think only of the team, regardless of what may happen to me in the future.
"That's why I'm only talking about my current club. I have to focus on the games we're playing."
