# Everton: Fans buzzing over Rafa Benitez update

**Some Everton fans have been buzzing as a freshupdate emerged on Rafa Benitez.**

As per [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-benitez-advisers-tell-him-to-reject-everton-and-accept-newcastle-offer-instead/), the Spaniard has been advised to snub the Toffees and instead wait for the job at Newcastle United to become vacant.

Benitez is [said to be](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-benitez-advisers-tell-him-to-reject-everton-and-accept-newcastle-offer-instead/) getting cold feet over accepting the vacancy at Goodison Park due to protests from some of the Merseyside club’s supporters.

An industry source has [told the news outlet](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-benitez-advisers-tell-him-to-reject-everton-and-accept-newcastle-offer-instead/) that close allies to the former Premier League coach have advised him to reject the offer made by the Toffees to take over from Carlo Ancelotti.

This has come as a welcome relief to some Blues, given Benitez’s past connections with Liverpool, with whom he [won](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rafa-benitez/leistungsdatenInternational/trainer/1522) the Champions League with  in the 2004/05 season, while he previously called Everton a ‘[small club’](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news/benitez-i-was-right-call-everton-small-club-2363821.html) after a Merseyside derby draw in February 2007.
