Rafa mum on Juve link

Embattled Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has again poured cold water on reports linking him to Juventus. The Italian giants sacked manager Ciro Ferrara on Friday. Benitez responded to the news by saying he was "proud" to be linked to the Serie A giants as they are a "top side in Europe" but added: "I'm happy here (at Anfield) and want to do a job as best I can." And although some reports in Italy suggested a Juventus delegation had flown to Merseyside this week attempting to secure a new long-term manager, Benitez was not prepared to discuss his future. "I am not here to talk about speculation because people talk too much," said Benitez on Friday. "I am focused on preparing my team for the game against Bolton on Saturday.”
