Rafa Benitez is determined to make the most of his chance with Everton.

The 61-year-old ­believes he has another ­decade in management to deal with the unfinished business of winning.

“My CV is there for anyone to see," said Benitez.

“I have won 13 trophies, so I don't have a feeling that I have to win this or I have to win that.

“But I want to win. It doesn't matter what ­competition, I just want to win.

“That's the same with any game. If I play chess with my daughter, my wife is telling me, 'Listen, why don't you allow her to win?' That's just how I am. Hopefully, we can do it at Everton because we have a good team with good players and everybody here is trying to help and create an atmosphere where we can just concentrate on ­football.

“I think it is a great ­challenge."
