Veteran Spanish boss Rafa Benitez has rejected contact from Nottingham Forest this week.

The ex-Everton, Liverpool, Newcastle United, and Valencia coach is out of work at the moment.

However, Spanish outlet AS claim that he has not reacted favorably to an approach from Forest.

The newly promoted club are bottom of the Premier League under boss Steve Cooper.

They may be thinking about making a managerial change, but Benitez was not impressed by the approach.

He believes the task of getting Forest to safety is too great, especially given they signed over 20 new players in the summer.
