Ex-Liverpool boss Benitez open to England job

Former Liverpool and Inter Milan boss Rafa Benitez would be open to taking the England job.

The Spaniard has been out of football management since leaving Italian champions Inter Milan last December.

Regarding the England and Spain jobs, Benitez told Sky Sports News: "Yes, why not? Everyone is asking you in Spain 'Do you want to be the manager in the future?'

"And in England now everybody is talking about the position of Capello.

"I think you have to respect the managers - that is the first thing - they are working and they have to carry on and see what happens in the future.

"But, as a manager, always you are thinking about to have a big challenge like Spain or England but we have to wait."
