Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has confirmed Rafael Benitez will be presented as the club's new coach on Wednesday.
Benitez has been in talks with the European champions since his six-year spell as Liverpool manager was ended by mutual consent last week.
"We have agreed the final details, which were not important things. On Wednesday we shall present Rafa Benitez," Moratti said in a statement on the Inter website, www.inter.it.
The Inter president went on to tell reporters that "all that is needed now is a countersignature".
Moratti added that negotiations with Benitez had not taken place in person but revealed the Spaniard would fly to Milan in time for Wednesday's presentation.
"I think Benitez is not in Italy and will arrive for the presentation," he said. "On Wednesday we will tell you when he will be presented."
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 finalised on Tuesday.
Reports in Italy had suggested Benitez would sign a three-year deal worth five million euros per season, but Moratti denied those claims as "off track" in terms of "duration and the amount".
Benitez may wish to take his Anfield assistant Mauricio Pellegrino, goalkeeping coach Xavi Valero and fitness coach Paco de Miguel with him to the San Siro, with Italian Amedeo Carboni - who played under Benitez as a midfielder at Valencia - also touted as a possible backroom addition.
Benitez still had four years to run on his Liverpool contract but left after the Reds could only manage seventh place in the Barclays Premier League last season.
