Bookmakers Asks: Rafa For An Italian Job?

Online bookmakers reveals latest odds on Benitez.

Sports betting firm Sky Bet has revealed odds on Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez to become the next Juventus manager.

Benitez is available at odds of 3/1 to succeed Ciro Ferrara as the top man for the Bianconeri.

However, the Spaniard has four years left to run on his current contract with the Merseyside club and odds of 1/5 are available for him to remain at Anfield.

Earlier this week, Benitez's agent claimed that his client is committed to the Liverpool job and Sky Bet rates him at 1/2 to see out the season with the Reds.

Sky Bet's football betting spokeswoman Helen Jacob said: "Reports in Russia this week claimed that Juve had made a €5 million (£4.3 million) bid for Guus Hiddink so if this is true, they look willing to invest heavily to bring in a top-class coach. Whether or not that will be Rafa Benitez is anyone's guess."

Pressure is mounting on Liverpool following a 0-0 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers last night (January 26th) - the club are currently lying in fifth place in the table.
