Rafael Benitez: 'No update on Newcastle United future'

Newcastle United boss Rafael Benitez gives no indication over his future at St James' Park, with the Spaniard's current deal due to expire next year.

Newcastle United boss Rafael Benitez had given no indication over his future at St James' Park.

Benitez could lead the Magpies to a top-10 finish in the Premier League table this season, but the Spaniard only has one year left to run on his contract with the club.

The former Liverpool, Chelsea and Real Madrid boss has said that he "will have more talks with the club" this summer, although he is already planning for the 2018-19 campaign.

"We have pre-season organised, we will go away to Ireland and then be ready. I will have more talks with the club. My job is to be sure that the players are focused for Chelsea, then my people have to talk with [managing director] Lee Charnley to try and progress," Benitez told reporters.

"We have to be quite busy in the transfer market. We need more experience, we need to add some quality to the good players we have already."

Newcastle will finish their 2017-18 Premier League campaign at home to Chelsea on Sunday afternoon.
