Rafael Benitez was introduced on Wednesday as manager of Real Madrid.

Benitez grew up in Madrid and he began his coaching career with the club.

“It’s an emotional day returning here to my home,” Benitez said. “I have a good technical team behind me and I hope things go well, that we win titles and the team plays well.”

Benitez signed a three-year contract as the replacement for Carlo Ancelotti.

Benitez most recently was manager of Napoli.
