Former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez admits ‘it would be a dream’ to return to the Anfield hot-seat at some stage in the future.\n<\/p>\n

The Spaniard parted company with the Premier League outfit at the end of the 2009\/10 campaign, bringing a six-year reign on Merseyside to a close.<\/p>\n

He was immediately snapped up by Serie A giants Inter Milan, who were in the market for a successor to the Real Madrid-bound Jose Mourinho.<\/p>\n

Benitez found it difficult to follow the Portuguese tactician and lasted just half a season in Italy before being ushered to the exits.<\/p>\n

He has been out of work since December, but is keeping his options open.<\/p>\n

A second stint at Liverpool would appeal to the ex-Valencia manager, with the FA Cup and UEFA Champions League having been secured during his first spell.<\/p>\n

Kenny Dalglish is currently occupying that particular post, with the Kop legend having replaced Roy Hodgson in January.<\/p>\n

Proud<\/h4>\n

Reports suggest the Scot will be handed a permanent contract in the summer, but Benitez admits he would welcome the opportunity to take the reins again if the position were ever to be offered to him.<\/p>\n

“I am really proud of being the manager of Liverpool Football Club and I would like to come back in the future,” Benitez told Sky Sports News<\/i>.<\/p>\n

“You never know (when) because Kenny is doing a really good job. It’s a question of time. You never know in the future.<\/p>\n

“It would be a dream. I would be really pleased to come back in the future.”<\/p>\n

Benitez revealed he would consider other offers from England but would never contemplate managing Liverpool’s rivals Everton and Manchester United.<\/p>\n

“Fans in Liverpool know the teams I would not go (to) but I think these clubs wouldn’t offer me a job,” he added.<\/p>\n

“I’m a professional but obviously some clubs I would not go to, especially the big rivals of Liverpool. I won’t say the names, but it’s not difficult!”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
