Despite the generally successful season, the future of Benitez in Newcastle remains questionable, since the coach himself has not decided yet whether he wants to continue working with the "magpies".

According to midfielder Johnjo Shelvey, to keep Rafu - a top priority for the leadership of the club.

"I have a good feeling that the coach will not leave and we will continue building the team.

Perhaps our main strength is to convince Benitez to remain ".

"When I moved to this club, there was no connection between the fans and the players of the team. Rafa came and changed everything, he shook the whole city ".

"In Newcastle, there's only talk about football. Wherever you go, the fans are discussing the team and the things related to it ".

"Benitez changed everything," - summed up Shelvi.

Previously, Rafael Benitez said that Newcastle fulfilled the task for the season.
