Rafael Benitez insists that his priority is to get a job in the Premier League as opposed to anywhere else.

The Spaniard previously managed Liverpool and won the Champions League with the Reds, but eventually parted ways with the club last summer.

After a brief and unsuccessful stint with Inter, the 50-year-old is now looking to make a return to management in England.

“The priority is the Premier League, because the style is better for me,” Benitez told BBC’s Radio Five Live.

However, the former Valencia boss admits that he is picky about where he intends to continue his managerial career.

He said: “You can’t say we will build something and spend three, four or five years waiting for trophies.

“You have to find the right balance, a club that can win or try to win right now but at the same time prepare for the future.

“At this moment in time I don’t have any offer. Before I did, but now I don’t have any offers.

“I have had some offers abroad and some national teams, but I needed to stay with the family … relax a little bit and be ready for the next challenge.”
