Benitez playing waiting game with Inter
Rafael Benitez may have to wait until Wednesday morning before he is installed as the new Inter Milan boss, according to Branca.[LNB] Benitez has been locked in discussions with the European champions since his six-year spell as Liverpool manager was ended by mutual consent last week.[LNB]President Massimo Moratti revealed on Monday that a deal with the 50-year-old Spaniard had been "more or less done" and had been confident the details would be finalised on Tuesday.[LNB]And while that still may be the case, Inter's technical director Branca revealed the expected deal could still be a day away.[LNB]"We must fix some details, but nothing will be official until later tonight or tomorrow morning," Branca told Inter's official website.[LNB]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.[LNB]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".[LNB]Benitez still had four years to run on his Liverpool contract but left after the Reds could only manage seventh place in the Premier League last season.[LNB]Liverpool also suffered early exits in the Champions League, FA Cup and Carling Cup.[LNB]Benitez had previously been linked with Real Madrid, but they filled their managerial vacancy by wooing Jose Mourinho from Inter after he took them to the treble last season.
