The former Liverpool and Chelsea manager has signed a three-year contract at the Bernabeu after being chosen to succeed Carlo Ancelotti as the club's new coach.
Benitez will waste little time before turning his attention to the summer transfer market, with new recruits expected to join the Bernabeu.
