Rafael Benitez admitted he has taken on a "massive" challenge in agreeing to lead Newcastle's desperate fight for Barclays Premier League survival.
The 55-year-old Spaniard, who has been out of the game since being sacked by Real Madrid in January, accepted a 10-match survival mission and whatever may lie beyond on Friday when he signed an initial three-year contract at St James' Park.
Press Association Sport understands the deal contains a break clause at the end of this season should the club get relegated.
