Rafa Benite­z also eyes anothe­r Champi­ons League trophy­LONDON: Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez says he plans to work as a manager until he is 70 and is desperate to have another chance to win the Champions League before he retires. Benitez’s Newcastle future is still uncertain, with the 59-year-old’s three-year deal set to expire on June 30 and a contract extension yet to be finalised. However, he guided Newcastle to promotion the following season and helped them to finish 10th in 2017-18 — their joint-highest finish since the 2011-12 campaign. The Spaniard won the Champions League with Liverpool in 2005 and expressed his desire to once again be involved in Europe’s elite competition. “I like to — and I want to — compete for trophies and the best trophy is the Champions League, so I would like to have the possibility in the next 11 years to win the Champions League,” Benitez added.
