Everton have confirmed the appointment of Rafa Benitez as their new manager.
It is a historic appointment by Farhad Moshiri, Everton's major shareholder, as Benitez becomes the first man to have managed both Liverpool and Everton since William Edward Barclay in the 1890s.
The Spaniard, 61, has had numerous meetings with Moshiri, including one in Italy last week, and has now finalised a deal to become Carlo Ancelotti's successor.
Benitez will arrive at the club's Finch Farm training base to commence work with the Everton squad on July 5.
