Former Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez is reportedly set to move to China to take charge of Chinese Super League side Dalian Yifang, after the departure of Choi Kang-hee. Sky Sports reported that the 59-year-old Spaniard has agreed a contract with Dalian which doubles the six million pounds a year he earned at St James's Park, and will be introduced as the new boss on Tuesday. Dalian announced late Monday that Choi had stepped down as head coach, citing personal reasons. His departure paves the way for Benitez, who had been linked to the Chinese side since announcing his intention to leave Newcastle when his contract expired last month.
