Fans of Everton have been reacting to a rumour which has stated that former Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez ‘could consider Everton in the future’.
According to Guillem Balague, the Spanish manager ‘would be good coming back [to the Premier League], even at Everton’, which had the Goodison Park faithful talking when shared to Twitter via @LivEchoEFC.

The 60-year-old Spaniard was Liverpool manager for six years between 2004 and 2010, having arrived from Valencia and left the club ‘by mutual consent’ at the end of his tenure (per The Guardian).
Benitez is currently the manager of Chinese outfit Dalian Professional and has overseen seven victories, three draws and seven defeats in 17 matches (per Transfermarkt).
Of course he would ?

What do we think?
As can be seen in the responses from Everton supporters, they would no longer be keen on having Benitez as manager of the Toffees after Carlo Ancelotti was appointed (per Everton).
However, the rumour is just talk from Guillem Balague, anyway – and there does not appear to be any hard proof that Benitez has an interest in managing the Toffees.
