Rafael Benitez to become Real Madrid manager

The 55-year-old ex-Liverpool boss ended a two-
year stint with Napoli following a 4-2 home defeat
by Lazio on Sunday.
"I am enthusiastic and happy, although there are
things that still need to be discussed," Benitez
said upon his arrival in Madrid.
Madrid-born Benitez will replace Carlo Ancelotti,
who was sacked last week just a year after
winning the Champions League against Atletico
Madrid.
Real confirmed on their website Benitez would be
unveiled at a press conference at 12:00 BST on
Wednesday.
Spaniard Benitez will arrive at the Bernabeu with
plenty of European pedigree, having won the
Champions League with Liverpool in 2005, Uefa
Cup with Valencia in 2004 and the Europa League
while interim manager at Chelsea two years ago.
Benitez started his coaching career with Real's
youth squad but it was with Valencia that he
made his name.
He led them to two La Liga titles before leaving
for Liverpool, where he also won the FA Cup and
Uefa Super Cup.
After ending a six-year stay at Liverpool he moved
on to Inter Milan but was sacked just three
months into the 2010-11 season.
He bounced back by leading Chelsea to the
Europa League title in the 2012-13 campaign
before joining Napoli.
The Spaniard then guided the Italian side to the
Coppa Italia in his first season in charge, but the
loss to Lazio meant the club finished fifth in Serie
A and did not qualify for the Champions League.
