Rafael Benitez stays as Newcastle United manager

Rafael Benitez has become a fans' favourite at St James' Park
Rafael Benitez is staying as Newcastle United manager after signing a new three-year contract following their relegation from the Premier League.
The 56-year-old Spaniard was appointed in March following Steve McClaren's sacking but failed to keep the Magpies in the top flight.
He had a break clause in his contract if Newcastle were relegated and was widely expected to leave the club.
"The love I could feel from the fans was a big influence for me," he said.
Former Liverpool, Chelsea, and Real Madrid boss Benitez will have control over "all football-related matters" at the club, Newcastle said.
