Rafael Benitez to leave Napoli?

Napoli boss Rafael Benitez is close to leaving the club after falling out with the board, according to a report.

Napoli manager Rafael Benitez is reportedly close to leaving the club.

The Spanish coach has come under fire after his side lost 2-0 to AC Milan on Sunday evening, a result which leaves them seventh in Serie A.

The 54-year-old has been linked with a return to Liverpool, with whom he won the Champions League in 2005, should the Merseyside club part ways with Brendan Rodgers.

According to talkSPORT, Benitez could leave Napoli due to his relationship with the club's board becoming strained.

Benitez joined Napoli in 2013 following an interim spell as Chelsea manager.
