The Spaniard has revealed that he has twice before been approached by Super Lig sides Besiktas and Galatasaray
Rafael Benitez has once again refused to commit himself to Napoli beyond the end of the season, revealing that he is open to continuing his coaching career in Turkey.
The Spaniard, who will be out of contract this summer, is currently preparing his side for the first leg of their Europa League last-32 tie with Trabzonspor at the Huseyin Avni Aker Stadium.
As a result, Benitez was asked on the eve of the game if he would consider taking a job in Turkey if he decides against extending his stay at the San Paolo.
"I'm happy [at Napoli] right now but we'll see what happens in the future," he told Hurriyet. "I always say: never say never.
"I was contacted by Besiktas before going to Liverpool [in 2004]. They offered me a significant salary but only a one-year contract, whereas Liverpool offered five.
"There was also Galatasaray in 2013, before I signed with Napoli, and also in that instance, the offer was very favourable."
Turning his attention to the task at hand, Benitez admitted that he is anticipating at tough test in Turkey.
"Trabzonspor are a tough squad," he added. "They play great football and we know that this will be a difficult game for us."
