Spanish football expert Guillem Balague says that Rafa Benitez will not be the next manager of Celtic or Newcastle United.
Benitez left his role as boss of Chinese side Dalian Professional this week and was immediately linked with a return to British football.
However, Balague has told the BBC that while there was interest from Celtic in securing Benitez’s services, he will not replace Neil Lennon.
He also added that a return to St James’ Park is not on the cards while Mike Ashley retains ownership of the club.
“Newcastle is not an option for Rafa Benitez under this owner,” said Balague.
