With Real Madrid struggling again Benitez has become the latest manager to be linked with the Bernabau ejector seat. However, the former Real youth coach has denied the claims and says he is commited to Liverpool.

"I want to make one thing clear to the supporters, I am not thinking of going anywhere. I am happy here at Liverpool. I have a long contract and I intend to stay to win trophies here. I want to thank the supporters, the board and everyone at the club for making me feel so welcome and I want success here," says Rafa.
 
"I understand that we need to change things. I understand that we need to improve our level. It's a challenge for me and a challenge for the players but that is why we are here.
 
"I am very grateful and very proud to be the Liverpool manager. My idea is to win trophies next season and for seasons to come."
