Benitez could have quit Liverpool

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez admits he considered leaving the club before signing a new long-term contract.

The former Valencia boss signed a new deal keeping him at Anfield until 2014 in March.

“It is true that at times I may have thought about my future,” he said.

“There was a lot of uncertainty at the club but when you put all of these things together and the fact I am sure we can improve, there was no doubt in my mind.

“It will be easier now the contract is done. Once you sign a contract you know you can start thinking about the future. That is why it was important to get it done as soon as possible.

“The uncertainty at the club was the only thing on my mind before. But delaying the decision before saying yes at the end of the season would have been worse for everyone because we would have lost some of our transfer targets or certainly been at a disadvantage.”
