Inter Milan contacts Benitez for coaching role

London, May 15 (ANI): Italian giants Inter Milan has reportedly established contacts with Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez for a possible coaching role after finally accepting that they may lose Jose Mourinho.

Inter Milan hopes to cash in on the uncertainty over Benitez's position as Liverpool manager.

Benitez, who has also been courted by Juventus, plans to hold more talks over his future at Anfield amid growing speculation they will part company following the Kop's worst season since 1999, The Sun reports.

Inter previously rubbished reports they have approached Benitez or anyone else.

But the paper reports that Milan had preparatory talks with the Spaniard.

AC Milan yesterday sacked coach Leonardo after crashing out of the Champions League last 16 and finishing third in Serie A this season. (ANI)
