Rafael Benitez comments on his Newcastle United future

Rafael Benitez has insisted that his future at Newcastle United is not important at the moment ahead of Magpies Premier League clash against Leicester City.

Newcastle are heading into this tie with full confidence after winning back to back games against Southampton and Huddersfield.

The Magpies find themselves 12th in the league table, seven points adrift of relegation places, but Premier League safety hasn’t been guaranteed as yet.

Benitez, who reportedly earns £4 million per year at Newcastle, is focussing on Newcastle’s survival, and has refused to talk about his future.

However, he has insisted that the Magpies have already started planning for next season which probably gives an indication that the Spaniard will stay put.
