Rafael Benitez will consider trophy-chasing clubs

Former Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has reiterated his desire to move to a club that is challenging for trophies.

The 51-year-old, who has been out of work since getting sacked by Inter Milan in 2010, was a strong candidate to take over at Chelsea until the Spaniard denied that any offers were made by the former English champions.

"My idea is not just to find a job, because when I talk about a project it has to be a club that can match my desire to fight for trophies," Benitez told Fifa.com.

"So if you don't have a club that can win but at the same time wants to be consistent, at least challenging for trophies, you can take the job but it will not be the same.

"The experience that I have now in Italy, Spain and England allows me to analyse the jobs and the projects and say 'this is the right one'."

Benitez's highest achievement in management was clinching the Champions League trophy with Liverpool in 2005.
