Former Newcastle United and Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has not ruled out a return to Tyneside.
The Spaniard is still loved by Newcastle supporters, despite the relative success of Steve Bruce's tenure so far.
Benitez left in 2019 after the failure of a takeover bid, given the lack of financial backing from owner Mike Ashley.
The experienced manager, who is now in China, spoke to BBC Radio 5Live about his future.
"When I left Newcastle I was waiting until the last minute for a takeover but obviously it didn't happen," he said.
"I have a very clear idea that in the situation it was impossible to stay, even if I was really pleased and really happy there.
"When I decided to stay. If you remember when I went to Newcastle we were fighting until the end and we were relegated.
"In the last game we played against Tottenham and I think it was maybe one of the best games in the history of Newcastle and we beat them 5-1 with 10 men.
"The fans this day were amazing and I decided to stay this day because of them.
"So with all of these things in your head, if I decided to stay when we had no money, imagine with a takeover.
"At the moment I have a lot of respect because I have a job and I am very grateful to Dalian and Wanda but the Premier League is a target for me."
