Rafael Benitez has agreed to become the new coach of European champions Inter Milan, the Italian side’s president Massimo Moratti announced on Tuesday.
“We’ve got an agreement, we finalised the last details that in any case weren’t important,” said Moratti, quoted by the ANSA news agency.
“Tomorrow we will say when Rafa Benitez will be presented.
“All we need is a counter-signature. In any case I think Benitez is not in Italy and will arrive here for the presentation.”
Benitez, 50, parted company with Liverpool last week after guiding the English giants to a disappointing seventh-place finish in the Premier League last season.
If confirmed as coach of Inter, he will take over from Jose Mourinho, who joined Real Madrid after leading the nerazzurri to a unique treble of Serie A, Italian Cup and Champions League titles last month.
