Benitez said it may even be easier than it was at Liverpool, where the Spaniard had to cope with a dysfunctional boardroom.

"Here you don't have two owners who don't even talk to each other, where you ask them for a striker and one of them says: 'Yes,' and the other: 'I don't know.' Here you have an owner, a technical director and good staff. Maybe it will be easier."
