The Liverpool boss yesterday turned down the contract that had been offered to him because of a couple of small details. He has now explained his reasons for doing so.
"The talks between my agent and the advisers of the owners have been very positive and friendly and our differences are about my responsibilities," said Benitez.
"This is solely about being allowed to manage Liverpool Football Club to the best of my abilities as I see them.
"I believe that this club has the potential to improve and I just want to be able to help this to happen.
"I will continue to do my job as manager and concentrate on the thing that our fans want me to focus on - winning trophies for them."
