What mercato! As Africa Top Sports.com had reported since last week, although Rafael Benitez leaves Chelsea for Naples!

The President of the Italian club Aurelio De Laurentiis has just announced on his Twitter: “Rafa (Rapfael) Benitez is the new coach of Napoli. A man of international experience. A leader “

Despite a great season with Chelsea – victory in the Europa League he should make way for Jose Mourinho who has been thanked by the Real Madrid.

Rafael Benitez will not therefore join PSG where he was also announced!

“I got a gift for my birthday, I hired Benitez,” De Laurentiis revealed last Friday. He will sign a two-year contract, not more. We need to know a bit more each other and then we’ll see. “

Naples finished second in the Italian championship, Benitez will play the Champions League next season. He hopes to keep the star of the team, Edinson Cavani who is in talks with Manchester City.

Rafael Benitez had been training Chelsea since November 2012. He won with Chelsea its third European Cup with so many different clubs after C3 with Valencia in 2004 and C1 with Liverpool in 2005.

He knows the Italian football for having led Inter Milan in 2010.

We’re talking about an annual salary of around 3.5 million Euros, according to the Italian press.

The former Valencia coach (2001-2004), Liverpool (2004-2010) and Inter Milan (2010)

One may wonder if Chelsea did a good thing by letting him go so easily and quickly. Is Special One still as formidable as in the past; is it not dangerous to rely again on a man who has already occupied this position?

Time will tell, but meanwhile the betting are to be taken!
