Speculation has been rife that Rafael Benitez will be Real Madrid's next coach, and one agent believes it is almost certain to happen.
Rafael Benitez has a "99 percent" chance of taking over at Real Madrid, according to Carlo Ancelotti's agent.
Ancelotti was sacked by Real on Monday after his team finished second to Barcelona in La Liga and was eliminated in the UEFA Champions League semifinals.
His agent, Ernesto Bronzetti, said the rumors of Napoli coach Benitez being in charge at the Santiago Bernabeu next season were almost certainly true.
"Yes, it's 99 percent sure it will be him," Bronzetti told RAI Sport when asked if Benitez was the favorite to replace Ancelotti.
