Rafa Benitez is set to walk into the Napoli job with his Chelsea tenure now over.
Benitez signed off with a 5-3 defeat to Manchester City in today's friendly in New York.
Benitez still has to meet Paris St-Germain officials this week before deciding which club he will manage next season.
But Champions League qualifiers Napoli, who prematurely announced a deal with the Chelsea interim manager last week, are favourites to get him because of the determination of president Aurelio de Laurentiis.
