RAFAEL BENITEZ HAS been appointed coach of Serie A side Napoli tonight, the club president announced.
The Spaniard – whose previous experience in Serie A was a painful short-lived spell with Inter Milan – had been widely expected to be named and Napoli supremo Aurelio De Laurentiis tweet confirmed that to be the case.
“Rafa Benitez is the new coach of Napoli,” he tweeted. “He is a man of experience and a true leader.”
