Newcastle keen to tempt Rafa Benitez back by offering him extensive powers

As per Eurosport journalist Manu Lonjon, the Magpies have offered the Spaniard the managerial job with extensive powers.

Furthermore, the club wants to appoint a new sporting director as well and the candidate would be someone who is close to Benítez.

Bringing back the Spaniard is a priority for Newcastle United this summer.

It will be interesting to see if Benitez agrees to their move. He did a very good job during his first spell at the club and he is adored by the fans as well.

The Spaniard is a world-class tactician who has won major trophies like the Champions League, the Europa League and La Liga.
