Many Everton fans have been left lauding some news involving manager Rafa Benitez.
As per Football Insider, Newcastle United have not given up hope of luring their former coach back to St. James’ Park.
He is still the favoured choice among the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) consortium, and a source from the North East club has told the outlet that there is still hope that he can be persuaded to leave Goodison Park.
After a promising start, Benitez seems to have lost the faith of some supporters of the Merseyside club, with back-to-back losses at home to West Ham United and Watford in the Premier League respectively.
Nonetheless, his past connections to Liverpool have added more fuel to the fire, and now it seems a lot of Toffees would like to see him go, a total U-turn from a couple of weeks ago.
