Benitez makes ‘inevitable’ exit as Inter’s patience snaps

INTER MILAN president Massimo Moratti admitted he lost patience with Rafael Benitez after the Spaniard demanded money to spend in the January transfer window.

But he remained tight-lipped over the identity of Benitez’s successor with former AC Milan boss Leonardo reportedly set for the post.

The Serie A side confirmed yesterday an agreement had been reached over the termination of Benitez’s contract. Talks had been ongoing between the former Liverpool coach’s agent and the Inter hierarchy to find a resolution.
