Rafael Benitez has again moved to quash speculation that he could soon quit Anfield and take over as Real Madrid manager - just days after being named the best football coach in Europe.
The Liverpool boss was in Italy earlier this week to collect the award at a prestigious ceremony in Udinese as football paid tribute to his remarkable achievement of leading the Reds to Champions League glory last season.
He then returned to England to read more speculation over his future, with one newspaper linking the Reds' boss with a move to the Bernabeu as pressure grows on current Madrid boss Wanderley Luxemburgo who has just watched his side lose three games in a row.
Benitez, however, has dismissed the claims that he could be heading for a return to Spain and once again insisted he is more than happy with his job at Liverpool.
He told Liverpoolfc.tv: "At this moment I am very happy here. I am focused on the games we have coming up and I want to win things with my club.
"I don't want to waste my time talking about other possibilities. I am focused on my team, winning matches and I am happy at Liverpool."

He added: "I am delighted to have been named the best coach in Europe, but this award isn't for me. It's for the club, my staff, the players and our supporters. It's impossible to win trophies and be successful if you don't have the support of people around you at the club."
