With Newcastle (still) in the latter stages of a big-money takeover, Rafael Benitez is being heavily linked with a return to the potentially minted Magpies. Despite his surprise move to China in the summer of 2019, the two-time UEFA Manager of the Year is still considered one of Europe's top head coaches and a master tactician, with more experience than almost anyone coaching right now. But just how would Rafa handle a big budget on Tyneside? A lack of funds was his key gripe with Newcastle...
