Newcastle Boss Rafa Benitez Admits He's Not Happy With the State of Affairs at St James' Park

Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez has suggested that he's tired of watching his team fight for survival every season.

The Spanish coach took the Magpies back to the Premier League last year after coming in too late to save them from relegation in 2016, but managed to keep them up last season. However, he has suggested that he would enjoy his job more if there was more support and the team did more than just struggle to survive every year.

The St. James' Park occupants ended their pre-season with a 1-0 defeat to German side Augsburg on Saturday.
