Rafa Benitez has revealed he wants to tie up a new deal with Liverpool. Benitez would be willing to sign a five year contract if there was the option available. The Reds' coach feels that signing a deal would help the team continue their push for honours.
He said: "My idea is to do it as soon as possible. I would like to see it signed before the end of the month if that is possible. They have to talk to my agent about the conditions of the deal, but clearly the length of the contract is crucial. If I can stay here for a long time I would be very pleased. It is rare to see managers at clubs for a long time, but that would be the right way. Stability is the key to winning trophies and being contenders for the title.
"Clearly that would be very good. I do not want to keep talking about my contract. It is not good for the team and it is not good for the club. We are in a good position that could be good for the future, so I want this contract concluded quickly.
"We have been improving the squad for five years so in the future we can be contenders and we can win more trophies. I told him (Hicks) that it had to be done quickly because the team is playing well. I do not want to be talking about this for weeks and months. They promised me it would be quick."
