Rafael Benitez Eyes Sensational Return To The Premier League But Only With A 'Good Club'

Spaniard admits a move to England is his priority.
Former Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is eyeing a sensational return to the Premier League but only if the right club were to come along.

The Spaniard was sacked by the Reds at the end of last season and swiftly headed to Inter as a replacement for Jose Mourinho. However, he lasted just six months at San Siro before leaving the club in December after being dismissed due to a poor start to the season.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 live he said: "The priority is the Premier League.

"To have a project, a business plan, a methodology of what you want to do and how to improve a club. It has to be a good club."

Benitez was manager at Anfield for nearly six years and immediately earned the respect and admiration of the fans by winning the Champions League.

However he was forever thwarted in his ultimate quest to win the Premier League title, which ultimately cost him his job on Merseyside.

One of the major criticisms of his time at Liverpool was his dealings in the transfer market, hits such as Pepe Reina, Fernando Torres and Xabi Alonso were all too infrequent as he overspent and failed to bring the best out of players such as Andrea Dossena, Ryan Babel and Robbie Keane.

Many critics believe his worst decision was to let Alonso leave without adequately replacing him, which led to the Reds falling out of the top four and consequently the Champions League.
