Why Man City is 'a job Benitez would like to take'

Earlier today, Rafa Benitez denied that a move to replace Manuel Pellegrini at Manchester City was on the cards.

However, Italian football expert and BT Sport and ESPN contributor James Horncastle told Off The Ball that there will be huge temptation for the former Liverpool and Chelsea manager to return to the Premier League.

"I think even though he has denied it himself, it's a job he would like to take," he said, highlighting that the Spanish coach's family have remained in England during his time in charge of Napoli.

"He's never been away from them before and he's said that is something that has caused him some heartache. Also, one of the reasons why he will leave Napoli when his contract expires this summer is because they perhaps don't have the resources he feels they need to compete."

Horncastle also reacted to Juventus' qualification for the Champions League semi-finals and explained how the Italian champions feel more confident in their abilities to make a mark in this season's tournament.
