Benitez 'open' to continuing as Newcastle manager

Rafael Benitez says he could continue as Newcastle manager after holding discussions with the relegated Premier League club.

The Magpies' second relegation to the Championship in seven years was confirmed on Wednesday.

Benitez, 56, succeeded the sacked Steve McClaren in March, winning two of his nine league games in charge.

"I will continue talking with Newcastle and make sure I make the right decision," he told BBC Newcastle's Mick Lowes.

"I'm clearly open to the challenge," the Spaniard added.
