Rafael Benitez: 'I have turned down two clubs'

Under-fire Napoli boss Rafael Benitez says that he is in demand and claims that he has recently rejected two job offers.

Rafael Benitez has underlined his commitment to Napoli after revealing that he has turned down two job offers.

The Spaniard was reportedly on the brink of leaving the club as the Partenopei sit seventh in the Serie A table, having guided them to a third-place finish last term.

Speculation has mounted that the former Liverpool manager could return to Anfield, with the Reds enduring a trying season under Brendan Rodgers thus far.

Benitez, whose contract at Stadio San Paolo expires in the summer, told reporters: "My contract? I don't want to talk about it.

"The important thing is to improve. Does it affect the players? The situation is the same as it was before [wins over] Roma and Fiorentina.

"I want to win in the here and now. I've said no to two offers, because I'm the Coach of Napoli, for now I want to work here, then we'll see. In the past 15 days I've turned down two offers, but I won't tell you who."

The 53-year-old guided the Merseyside club to Champions League glory in 2005.
