Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has confirmed Rafael Benitez has agreed a deal to become the club’s new coach.
Moratti revealed negotiations with Benitez had not taken place in person and said the Spaniard was due to arrive in Milan this week ahead of finalizing his move to the European champions.
The Inter president revealed an announcement has been made on Wednesday to confirm when Benitez would be unveiled as Jose Mourinho’s successor at the San Siro.
“We have agreed the final details, which were not important things,” Moratti said.
“All that is needed now is a counter-signature.
“On Thursday we will tell you when he will be presented.”
Benitez has been in talks with the European champions since his six-year spell as Liverpool manager was ended by mutual consent last week.
Moratti revealed on Monday that a deal with the 50-year-old had been “more or less done” and had been confident the details would be finalized today.
Reports in Italy had suggested Benitez, who had four years remaining on his contract at Anfield, would sign a three-year deal worth five million euros per season, but Moratti dismissed those claims as “off track” in terms of “duration and the amount”.
