Rafa Benitez has pledged his future to Liverpool.
Benitez has just two years left on his current contract. The fractured relationship between Anfield's American co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett is thought to be behind the delay in preparing a new one.
But the boss has made it clear he wants to stay and denied he is itching for a return to Spain.
He said: "My home is here. I am thinking about the future and I think we are improving the squad.
"In the last three years the squad has got better every year and if we can keep doing that I will be really pleased."
