Rafa Benitez won’t be returning to Newcastle or taking over at Celtic, Guillem Balague has told BBC Sport.

“Newcastle is not an option for Rafa Benitez under this owner,” said Balague. “Change the owner and then maybe.

“Rafa has a huge respect for the fans, the club, the town. And I feel there is a bit of an unfinished business there.”

Benitez reportedly has offers on the table from clubs in Germany and a national side.
