Benitez intends to manage until he's 70
LONDON • Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez has said he plans to work as a manager until he is 70 and is desperate to have another chance to win the Champions League before he retires.
While his future is still uncertain, with his three-year deal at St James' Park set to expire on June 30 and a contract extension yet to be finalised, the 59-year-old has no plans to quit football even if he leaves the Magpies.
Holding up Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson, 71, as an example, Benitez also expressed his desire to be involved once again in the Champions League - a competition he won with Liverpool in 2005.
