Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benitez admits that he has begun looking for a new job in England as his time at Stamford Bridge comes to a close.

Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benitez has admitted that he would like to stay in the Premier League as the Spaniard prepares for life away from Stamford Bridge.

Benitez's short tenure as Blues boss will end after Sunday's final Premier League clash with Everton.

After guiding Chelsea to Champions League qualification and a Europa League final, Benitez believes that he has helped to rebuild his reputation and is confident of securing a new post quickly.

He told The Telegraph: "I was on holiday for nearly two years so I want to get another job.

"The priority is England but if you cannot find the club you are looking for, you maybe go abroad. My agents have started talking and we already have some clubs asking but it depends on the level of the project.

"There are two options. One is to get a project, have two or three years to build a team like we did at Liverpool. Or maybe go to a top side with money to buy top players and win or challenge for trophies from the beginning. So we have to wait."

The Blues secured a place in next season's Champions League on Saturday with a 2-1 win over Aston Villa.
