Along with Chelsea and Inter Milan, Real Madrid are the third major football club to have been managed by both Jose Mourinho and Rafa Benitez.
Spanish publication 'La Region' asked Benitez's wife Montserrat Seara about her husband's new job. The matter of Mourinho was touched upon and she joked that her husband is frequently left with the task of cleaning up the messes left by his charismatic predecessor.
We tidy up his messes. If you think about it, of course you end up crossing paths. There are only a few world-class clubs out there.
Benitez cleaning up Mourinho's messes?
Certainly, Benitez helped empty out the trophy cabinet at Inter Milan which was getting a bit cluttered during Mourinho's spell there.
