da stake casino： Newcastle United manager Rafael Benitez has opted against pledging his future to the club, according to The Shield’s Gazette.
What’s the latest?
da spicy bet： The Spaniard penned a three-year contract when he took over from Steve McClaren in March 2016.
The former Liverpool and Real Madrid boss was unable to keep the North-East outfit in the top flight.
However, he guided them straight back to the promised land by winning the Championship in the following season.
The club find themselves in another difficult position as they try to avoid relegation, but their campaign will be helped by Saturday afternoon’s 3-0 victory over Southampton.
According to The Shield’s Gazette, prior to the match, the manager spoke about his future and seemed rather coy with regards to the possibility of staying.
“Let me finish, let me do well, let us stay in the Premier League and then we can talk about the future.”
Should Benitez commit to Newcastle?
Not until the ownership situation is resolved.
In October, current club owner Mike Ashley put the club up for sale, much to the delight of the fans, who have had a tense relationship with the businessman.
However, the Sports Direct tycoon is yet to strike a deal with any interested parties, which leaves the club in limbo.
Benitez has been public about his frustrations during the transfer windows, and that could continue if Ashley remains at the helm.
While fans will be disappointed by the Spaniard’s comments, they should understand that it would make no sense for him to pledge his future when so many things are uncertain.
The Magpies are five points above the relegation zone with eight games left to play.
