Jamie Carragher tips Rafael Benitez for England return

Carragher tips Benitez for England return

Jamie Carragher has backed Rafael Benitez to one day return to club management in England.

The Spanish boss spent six largely successful years with Liverpool up until 2010, before he returned last November to take interim charge of Chelsea.

His stint at Stamford Bridge was met by large amounts of opposition from supporters because of his Liverpool connection, but Carragher, who was managed by Benitez during his time at Anfield, believes that the 53-year-old has some unfinished business in the Premier League.

"He doesn't hide the fact that he loves England and loved his time at Liverpool. Chelsea was slightly different, but I think he'd love to come back one day," Carragher told Sky Sports News.

Benitez is currently in charge of Napoli, who will take on Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the Champions League this evening.
