Former Chelsea boss Benitez says Real Madrid have “recovered their values” by appointing Carlo Ancelotti.

Benitez, now at Napoli, said: “Carlo’s a great coach and a great person and in a way Real Madrid have recovered the values they always had.”

His words represent a clear dig at Mourinho, who left the Bernabeu under a cloud to rejoin Chelsea earlier this month.

Benitez added: “I have a good relationship with Carlo, since the time when we faced each other in England and from the Champions League final between Liverpool and Milan.

“He’s a correct person, polite, a good professional, he knows his work and does it well. He wins titles.”

Benitez and Mourinho have always disliked each other and the former Liverpool chief also revealed months ago the Special One was returning.

He added: “In football you know a lot of things you cannot say. But that Mourinho was going to come to Chelsea was clear to me. It was clear to you and to the players themselves.”

Benitez also claimed he “saved” Fernando Torres from his Chelsea rut.
