Former Liverpool Manager Benitez Named Panathinaikos Coach
- On Friday, Panathinaikos appointed Rafael Benítez as manager, signing a contract reportedly running to 2027 with the Athens-based club.
- With Panathinaikos struggling in Europe and domestically, Christos Kontis was sacked after Thursday's 3-1 defeat at Feyenoord and Rui Vitoria was fired last month.
- Reports describe the contract as Greece's highest-ever coaching salary, worth close to 4 million euros per season and including an option to extend for an additional season.
- Benítez will take charge on Sunday against Asteras Tripolis as he is tasked with reviving the 20-time Greek champions' fortunes.
- Benítez brings major-club experience and trophies, having won the 2005 Champions League with Liverpool and the 2013 Europa League with Chelsea, despite being dismissed by Celta Vigo last year.
