Napoli coach Rafa Benitez has hinted that he would welcome an offer to return to the Premier League with Manchester City.

Benitez is yet to agree a new deal in Serie A, and has not ruled out staying with Napoli.

However, the Spaniard also admits to admiring Manchester City, but says there has been no contact and no agreement with the club over replacing Manuel Pellegrini.

"I was in England for many years and I know which clubs do a good job and City is one of them," Benitez said.

"I like City but I haven't had any offers and there is no agreement. I am just thinking about doing well at Napoli. If the club plans to grow, I will talk with my family and assess the possibility of staying."

Benitez has had two previous spells in England, having spent six years at Liverpool and six months at Chelsea as interim manager.

During his time in the Premier League he won the FA Cup, Champions League, Europa League, UEFA Super Cup and Community Shield.
