Rafa Benitez
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis says Rafa Benitez has been appointed the club's new manager. Benitez, 53, had been looking for a new job with his contract as interim Chelsea manager ending this summer.
De Laurentiis posted a picture of the pair shaking hands on Twitter and told followers: "Rafa Benitez is the new coach of Napoli. A man of great international experience. A leader." Benitez will replace Walter Mazzarri, who has joined Serie A rivals Inter.
Ex-Liverpool boss Benitez guided Chelsea to victory in the Europa League while a third-place finish in the Premier League ensured Champions League football at Stamford Bridge next season.
Despite that success he remained unpopular with a section of the Chelsea support after succeeding Roberto Di Matteo in November, and had underlined his intention to leave the club at the end of the season.
