Kuyt keeps Benitez speculation in perspective
Liverpool striker Dirk Kuyt insists speculation about manager Rafael Benitez's future at the club is a long way down the players' list of priorities.
Juventus have made the Reds boss their number one target to take over in the summer having sacked Ciro Ferrara on Friday and installed Alberto Zaccheroni as the stop-gap until the end of the season.
Benitez stoked the fires slightly by admitting he was "proud" to be linked with such an institution but Kuyt said the concentration of everyone at the club was on their minimum target of securing Champions League football next year.
"To be honest we just focus on football and not other things outside the pitch," said the Holland international, who scored Liverpool's first in Saturday's 2-0 win at home to Bolton.
"As far as I know there is no doubt. I've not heard there is any trouble or indication the manager could leave so if that is not happening we just want to play football."
