George Caulkin @CaulkinTheTimes :
Rafa Benitez is travelling back to Tyneside now. Updated deal with #Nufc will be signed & confirmation he stays as manager will follow.
It could come today or tomorrow, but he's staying. It's a huge coup for #Nufc & testament to club's potential & his reception from fans.
Benitez has been identifying possible signings for a week,but the hard work starts now. Crucially, #Nufc will have momentum behind them.
