Rafa Benitez has succeeded Jose Mourinho now at three clubs after taking over Inter Milan and Chelsea.

Benitez directly replaced Carlo Ancelotti, who was at Real Madrid for two years after Mourinho.

But Real Madrid is still undergoing a transition that began with Mourinho.

"We tidy up his messes," joked Benitez's wife Montserrat Seara. "If you think about it, of course you end up crossing paths. There are only a few world-class cubs out there."
