New Real Madrid boss Benitez reveals backroom staff

New Real Madrid coach Rafa Benitez does have plans to add to his squad this summer.

Benitez was unveiled as new Real coach yesterday, penning terms to 2018.

On new additions, Benitez said: "We have a great team and I'm not going to get into names. We have to concentrate on getting settled in and assessing what kind of performances we can likely get out of the squad. After that we'll see what is best for Real Madrid."

Benitez also confirmed his backroom staff.

"Fabio Pecchia played with Juve and Antonio Gómez made his debut with Real Madrid. They are my two assistants and are both exceptional men. Valero is the goalkeeping coach. Paco de Miguel is the fitness coach. Pedro Campos will collaborate with the scouts.

"They're all more than ready and their experience will stand to them. Saying that, I've met some of the coaches in Valdebebas and we're going to try and make the most of their knowledge as the club already has some excellent coaches."
