Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has hinted a deal is close to make Rafael Benitez the club's new head coach. The Spaniard, who left his post at Liverpool by mutual consent last Thursday, has been strongly linked with the post after Jose Mourinho's departure for Real Madrid.
Moratti told reporters in Italy: "The next few hours could be decisive. But we must ask (technical director Marco) Branca."
Benitez appears set to take his Anfield assistant Mauricio Pellegrino, goalkeeping coach Xavi Valero and fitness coach Paco de Miguel with him to the San Siro.
Reports in Italy suggest Benitez will sign a three-year deal worth five million Euros per season.
