Former Liverpool, Newcastle United and Everton manager Rafael Benitez has indicated he would consider a return to the Premier League. The Spanish coach, who last managed in England with Everton during the 2021-22 season, suggested he remains open to opportunities in English football's top flight.

Benitez, 64, won the Champions League and FA Cup during his six-year spell at Liverpool from 2004 to 2010. He later led Newcastle United from 2016 to 2019 before a brief, controversial tenure at city rivals Everton. Since leaving Goodison Park, he has managed Celta Vigo in La Liga until March 2024.
