Ancelotti following the Italian's sacking on Monday
Carlo Ancelotti's agent Ernesto Bronzetti says
Napoli boss Rafa Benitez is "99 per cent certain"
to take over at Real Madrid.
The La Liga club announced the sacking of the
Italian on Monday and also confirmed they would
unveil his successor next week.
Madrid president Florentino Perez refused to shed
any more light on Ancelotti's potential replacement
but admitted a Spanish speaking coach would be
his preference.
Goal revealed last week that Benitez is top of the
club's shortlist and it appears only to be a matter
of time before Benitez is appointed at the
Bernabeu.
"Rafa Benitez is 99% certain to take charge of Real
Madrid," Bronzetti told Rai Sport .
Regarding the former AC Milan boss' dismissal, he
added: "Ancelotti wants to take a year off. The
team was concerned at the news and some of the
players cried when he announce his departure."
Benitez won the Coppa Italia last season but has
failed to mount a serious title challenge in Naples
this term, with his side set to finish in a
disappointing fourth spot.
