According to reports from the Daily Mail, Newcastle United manager Rafael Benitez is not keen on taking over at West Ham United.

Following a very difficult campaign, West Ham are said to be looking to replace current manager Slaven Bilic at the end of the season and recent reports had claimed that Benitez is being targeted by the Hammers who missed out on him when he opted to join Real Madrid two years ago.

However, Benitez is not believed to be interested in leaving St James' Park for the London Stadium and that his alleged breakdown in relationship with Magpies owner Mike Ashley does not hold any truth.
