Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has long term ambitions to coach the Spanish national team. However, the Spaniard insists he is some years away from leaving Anfield.
"Right now I have four years left in my contract with Liverpool and I am very happy there," Benitez said in quotes reported on www.as.com.
"But, of course, in a few years, once [Spain coach Vicente] Del Bosque ends his work, I would like to be Spain coach.
"All of the Spanish coaches would like in the future to become national team manager."
The Liverpool boss also hit back at his critics following the Reds' disappointing seventh-placed league finish and early exit from the Champions League last season.
"My critics in London say that I am not a good manager but they forget many details," he said. "Liverpool has averaged 69 points in the last 12 seasons.
"We made a huge mistake, as we won four titles at the start. Then people ask you for more, when in reality in the Premier League it's assumed that at the start a coach needs time to adapt.
"(Manchester United manager Sir Alex) Ferguson took seven years to win the Premier League."
