A village football team has moved to confirm that Rafa Benitez is not their manager.

The statement from Newcastle Football Club came after French newspaper L'Equipe printed a map showing all the European managers in the Premier League - accidentally listing Benitez in charge of the Shropshire based club.

Newcastle Football Club sectary Brian Evans moved to address speculation that Benitez had left the Premier League club - especially given his contract is up in the summer.

Speaking to the Powys County Times, club secretary Brian Evans said: "We don't want to have him, we've got a good one here!"

Benitez has been invited to watch the club who play in the Mid Wales South league, and currently lie 6th out of 12th.

The club, like their North East name sakes, play in black and white too.
