Departing Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez hopes he can immediately walk into a new job.

Clearly, he would prefer the challenges of a club in the mould of Chelsea, but he is open to stepping down a level.

"I wouldn't have any problem if it was the right project," he told the Mail on Sunday. "It is not about ego for me. It is not about me saying: 'I have to have a big club'. It's whether I can get a good club where I can do things."
