Benitez agent dismisses Juve link

(GSM) – Rafael Benitez will definitely not take charge of Juventus. Benitez’ job is on the line at Liverpool, while Juve boss Ciro Ferrara is under heavy fire in Turin. Several media linked Benitez with a move to the Bianconeri but his agent has cooled down the transfer rumours.

“I have had no contact with Juventus or with any other Italian club regarding an interest on Rafa Benitez,” agent Manuel Garcia Quilon told Press Association Sport.

“There have been rumours linking Rafa to Juve just as there have been reports linking Guus Hiddink to Juve.

“But they are all media speculation and there is no truth in it.

“Rafa has a four-year contract with Liverpool.

“He feels he has the strength to continue with the team and he is fully focused on guiding Liverpool up the standings.”

Both the Reds as La Vecchia Signora were knocked out of the Champions League before the winter break while they lie sixth in their respective domestic competitions.
