Rafael Benitez claimed it would take a ‘miracle’ for Newcastle to stay in the Premier League this season.Fortunately for the Magpies, Benitez is a specialist when it comes to miracles on the football pitch and they took a giant step towards safety with a 1-0 win at Leicester last Friday.

Celtic
Since Brendan Rodgers suddenly left for Leicester, Celtic have been looking for a new manager to take over full-time.Interim boss Neil Lennon, who’s managed the Hoops before, is the odds-on favourite to take over but Benitez is surprisingly in contention for the job.![Could Benitez be Rodgers’ full-time successor at Celtic](https://talksport.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2019/03/GettyImages-1134716858.jpg?strip=all&w=734&quality=100)
Chelsea
Benitez is good enough to manage a top six club but the only job among those teams that looks like becoming available soon is Chelsea, as manager Maurizio Sarri has struggled in his first season in English football.There’s not a lot of appeal to go to Stamford Bridge due to the club’s ban on signing players for the next two transfer windows.![Benitez won the Europa League with Chelsea in 2013](https://talksport.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2019/04/GettyImages-168810844.jpg?strip=all&w=960&quality=100)
Fulham
Benitez has also shown in the past that he doesn’t mind going down to the Championship as he took over Newcastle shortly before they were relegated to the second tier in the 2015/16 season.Fulham are heading straight back down although they showed plenty of ambition by signing 15 players since winning promotion.Darren Lewis of the Daily Mirror told talkSPORT Craven Cottage could be a good place for Benitez to go next if Fulham don’t fancy hiring caretaker Scott Parker on a permanent basis.I think he would go to a Fulham.Fulham have more ambition that Newcastle. Theyve got big money.Hed get them up and competing. @MirrorDarren says he could see Rafa Benitez leaving #NUFC for #FFC pic.twitter.com/MEJ5VK66Tg— talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) April 13, 2019
Brighton & Hove Albion
Chris Hughton’s job at Brighton is not under threat for now but Brighton’s dreadful form during the second half of the season is very worrying.They’ve won just two of their last twelve matches in the league and have been sucked into a relegation battle having struggled to juggle an FA Cup run which saw them lose in the semi-finals to Manchester City.Whether they stay up or go down, Brighton’s top brass may feel it’s time for a change and Benitez would be a massive coup for them and they’d surely back him in the transfer market more than Ashley has.![Hughton is in danger of relegating Brighton from the Premier League](https://talksport.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2018/12/GettyImages-1074053384.jpg?strip=all&w=960&quality=100)
Roma
There are options abroad for Benitez too.The Italian side, who are currently fifth in Serie A, have Claudio Ranieri in charge until the end of the season but will be after a new manager to take charge full-time and help restore them as a threat in Europe.Benitez is one of the best in the business for that whether it’s Champions League or Europa League and also has experience in Italy with Napoli and Inter Milan, even if they weren’t his most successful managerial spells.![Rafa has experience in Italy, managing Napoli and Inter Milan](https://talksport.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2019/04/GettyImages-473166836.jpg?strip=all&w=960&quality=100)
Paris Saint-Germain
And if there’s one club that’s desperate to win the Champions League, it’s Paris Saint-Germain.They’ve got Ligue 1 sorted but the real obsession at that club is winning Europe’s top prize.Current manager Thomas Tuchel hasn’t delivered that following PSG’s last-16 loss to Manchester United and the German has been forced to deny rumours of a fallout with the powers that be at the club.![Tuchel may be worried about his future after a premature Champions League exit](https://talksport.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2019/04/GettyImages-1128762947.jpg?strip=all&w=960&quality=100)
AC Milan
Another option in Italy for Benitez could be AC Milan as current manager Gennaro Gattuso’s future has been a constant source of speculation.Milan are fourth in Serie A so are on track to make next season’s Champions League but they have struggled to make an impact on the European stage in recent seasons and Benitez could restore those glory days.However, like his days at Chelsea, Benitez could be unpopular with the Milan fans as he’s beaten them in big games when in charge of Liverpool, even though he was just doing his job!![Rafa won the Champions League in 2005 with Liverpool – one of his greatest achievements](https://talksport.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2019/04/GettyImages-52980373.jpg?strip=all&w=960&quality=100)
