Benitez on brink of Inter Milan job

INTER MILAN president Massimo Moratti has indicated a deal is imminent to make Rafael Benitez the club's new head coach.

The Spaniard, who left his post at Liverpool by mutual consent last Thursday, has been strongly linked with the post after Jose Mourinho's departure for Real Madrid.

And Moratti told reporters in Italy: "The next few hours could be decisive. But we must ask (technical director Marco) Branca."
