Roberto Martinez sacked: Rafael Benitez 'almost perfect' replacement - Danny Mills
Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez is an "almost perfect fit" for Everton, says former England defender Danny Mills.
Ex-Ajax boss Frank de Boer is the bookmakers' favourite to succeed Roberto Martinez, who was sacked by the Goodison Park club on Thursday.
Benitez and Newcastle have had positive talks since relegation was confirmed, but Mills believes the ex-Liverpool boss could return to Merseyside.
Benitez started the season with Spanish giants Real Madrid but faces the prospect of the second tier of English football if he remains at Newcastle next season.
The 56-year-old led Everton's city rivals Liverpool to a Champions League win in 2005 and guided Chelsea to a Europa League success in 2013.
Benitez's family have remained in the north west of England following his six-year spell at Anfield.
"Rafael Benitez goes to Everton, Roberto Martinez goes to Newcastle. That's not beyond the realms of possibility," former Leeds United and Manchester City defender Mills told BBC Radio 5 live.
"He's got experience, I can't see him staying at Newcastle," said Mills, who added that the Spaniard's Liverpool history "doesn't matter".
But former Tottenham and Newcastle midfielder Jermaine Jenas disagreed, arguing that Everton fans want to see attacking football.
"With Benitez, I can feel them going too defensive and they wouldn't be happy with that," he added.
"He lives there. His family is there and he'd be happy going back," he said.
