Newcastle news: Rafa Benitez drops strong hint that he might stay at St James’ Park
Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez has given the clearest indication yet that he will extend his stay at St James’ Park after positive talks this week.The 59-year-old Spaniard, whose existing deal is due to expire on June 30, says he has spoken to managing director Lee Charnley and suggests that he has been encouraged by the meeting.1

Benitez might yet stay at Newcastle

Asked if there had been any progress on his contract, Benitez replied: “Yes. I was talking with Lee Charnley this week and we will let you know as soon as we have more news.“At the moment, it’s just we have had another talk and we’ll continue talking.”Asked further if the talks had been positive, he replied: “Yes. I can say yes, it seems that things are at least moving forward, and we will see if something is right at the end.” The news will give fresh hope to fans desperate for Benitez to stay longer than the three years for which he was initially contracted after he guided the club back into the top flight at the first attempt in the wake of relegation, and has since secured its status for two successive seasons.He is keen to receive assurances over owner Mike Ashley’s ambition – something which is currently limited by his intention to sell Newcastle – although he is adamant business alone will not dictate his decision.
