Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has revealed that he gave serious thought to leaving the club before finally signing a new five-year contract at Anfield last month.
It appears that uncertainty at boardroom level caused Benitez to question his own future.
However, the Spaniard insists that the doubts have since faded and he is now fully committed to taking the club forward.
"It is true that at times I may have thought about my future," Benitez is quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
"It will be easier now the contract is done. Once you sign a contract you know you can start thinking about the future. That is why it was important to get it done as soon as possible.
"The uncertainty at the club was the only thing on my mind before. But delaying the decision before saying yes at the end of the season would have been worse for everyone because we would have lost some of our transfer targets or [would] certainly [be] at a disadvantage."
