Even though Benitez didn't replace Mourinho at Madrid, his wife has said her husband is cleaning up another of Mourinho's mess.
The former Napoli boss replaced Carlo Ancelloti at Madrid and has now replaced Mourinho at three different clubs, having taking over at Inter and Chelsea.
And Montserrat Seara thinks her husband is fated to join clubs in the Portuguese coach's wake.
"We tidy up his messes," she joked, speaking to La Region. "If you think about it, of course you end up crossing paths. There are only a few world-class clubs out there."
