Spanish giants Real Madrid are preparing to offer Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez the job of head-coach for next season, according to a report in British tabloid newspaper The Sun.
Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Juande Ramos currently occupies the position but Los Blancos have only handed him a contract which lasts until the summer.
It is reported that Benitez is being groomed to take over at the Bernabeu at the end of this campaign, which would explain his failure to sign a new contract at Liverpool.
The 48-year-old is a native of Madrid and made over 200 appearances for Real's reserve team Castilla between 1974 and 1981.
The former Valencia boss also coached various Real Madrid youth sides during the late 1980s and early 1990s and was assistant to Los Merengues' head coach Vicente Del Bosque in 1995.
It is also claimed that his recent attack on Alex Ferguson was conducted 'as a Madridista', with former President Ramon Calderon leading an anti-Manchester United campaign until he recently resigned.
