R. Benitez - one leg in "Newcastle" club

It seems that 55-year-old football specialist Rafael Benitez will not be out of work for long. "The Sun" and other English newspapers report that the Spaniard will soon start coaching a club in the English Premier League.

It is said that Newcastle United team is preparing to dismiss coach Steve McClaren, who has failed to lift the team from the bottom of the standings even after a significant player shopping spree in January.

"The Sun" informs that R. Benitez will receive a contract at Newcastle until the end of the season with the possibility of extension.

We remind you that this season the former Liverpool manager worked at Real Madrid, but after unsuccessful results and disagreements with team members, R. Benitez was dismissed from his coaching duties.

Newcastle currently occupies the penultimate place in the Premier League, but there are still 10 games left until the end of the season.
