Real Madrid will unveil Rafael Benitez as their new manager on Wednesday, after the Spaniard signed a three-year contract with the Bernabau outfit.
The former Liverpool manager will replace Carlo Ancelotti, who was relieved of his duties as the manager following his trophyless 2014/15 season.
The 55-year-old manager was the favourite for the job when the club's vice president revealed last week hours before Napoli's 4-2 loss that Benitez would be their next coach, telling a group of club members: "Until three days ago Ancelotti was the best coach in the world, as Jose Mourinho was two years ago and from this week onwards it will be Rafa Benitez."
And on Wednesday, Benitez finally signed a contract with the Blancos which ties him to the Spanish capital until the summer of 2018.
"Real Madrid will present Rafa Benitez as the new coach for the next three seasons on Wednesday, June 3," a club statement read.
"The event will take place at 13:00CET in the Royal Box of the Bernabeu, then Rafa Benitez will appear before the media in the press room."
The ex-Liverpool manager returns to Spain after an absence of 11 years - having previously won two La Liga titles with Valencia in the first half of the last decade. Goal
