'There were offers' - Former Everton and Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez hints at managerial return

Rafa Benitez has revealed he has turned down job offers since being sacked by Everton last January, and, following speculation linking with Nottingham Forest, has admitted he is only interested in working in Europe despite a previous stint in China.

The former Liverpool boss was linked with a return to the Premier League with the East Midlands club earlier this week, with Steve Cooper under pressure following their start to the season, with the Tricky Trees sitting bottom of the table after eight games following their heavy 4-0 derby defeat to Leicester City on Monday night.

Having been out of work since being dismissed by the Blues earlier this year, Benitez has admitted he is itching to return to management. And while a potential role as a national team manager does interest him in the future, for now the Spaniard has his eyes set on a return to European club football.
