Rafael Benitez in Madrid ahead of Real deal

Less than 24 hours after overseeing his final game in charge of Napoli, Rafael Benitez landed in Madrid yesterday morning.

The 55 year old, whose two-year stint with Napoli ended with a 4-2 home defeat to Lazio on Sunday, is expected to be named as the new Real Madrid coach this week.

Benitez has been strongly linked with Real this summer, the club where he started his coaching career.
