"Newcastle" captain J. Lascelles: "We all want Benitez to stay"

"Newcastle United" played another fairly solid season and finished in 13th place in the Premier League. Both the club officials and fans want the Spaniard to stay at the helm of the team. It seems that the players themselves also want this. "Newcastle" captain Jamaal Lascelles, giving an interview to "Chronicle Live," revealed that the team's players hope that R. Benitez will continue his work. "You just need to look at our recent seasons, the facts speak for themselves. Initially, we triumphed in the Championship, then we finished in the 10th place in the Premier League, even though we spent almost no money. This season we managed to collect even more points. It is important for players to have a personality like Benitez beside them. He helps us to get out of difficult situations and is a true perfectionist. Players have the same opinion as the fans. We all want Benitez to stay. He has just been great throughout his time at Newcastle. We do not know if the coach will stay or is preparing to leave. It is not up to us, but we hope he will stay," said J. Lascelles.
