 Welcome to Toffy TV. It is the Everton News Daily. Rafa Benitez is the new Everton manager. The worst kept secret in football has happened. It happened on quarter past three this afternoon. He was confirmed. There had been early sightings of him earlier in the day of Finch Farmer. Obviously he was there all day to do all the things he had to do when you become the manager. Signed another dotted line but also obviously all his media stuff. He's done an interview with Everton which is currently on the Everton YouTube page. But he's also written a message to Evertonians where he says it is a privilege to have been given the opportunity to manage Everton. Having called me beside my home for the last 17 years I have a very clear understanding of what makes the club so special. This club is always striving to be the best. Simply competing in the top league is not enough. That ambition and determination to succeed is something I share. I never want to just compete at every club I have managed. I have fought to win. My focus is already on one thing. Fighting for the team. I am managing and I will do that forever. It's a challenge and I am relishing Rafael Benitez. Obviously he's done an interview as well where he goes into a little bit more detail about his plans and past things that he may have said. But they're all very interesting. Farhad Mishiri has spoken as well. Marcel Brands has spoken as well. He initially was left off the original quotes. He was not a Finch farm today but it came through a few hours later. Marcel Brands saying how much he was looking forward to working with Rafael Benitez. But also not only that he was looking forward to a period of stability at the club having already been through other managers. Rafael Benitez did mention in his interview as well working with Marcel Brands as well so that is all done. Rafael Benitez was joined at Finch Farm today by Duncan Ferguson and Alan Kelly and they've been confirmed to be part of the new staff. Leighton Bains was also there obviously in his role at the club which has more to do with the academy. David Unsworth was there as well. Denise Barrett-Bachsendale also there as well. So they were all at Finch Farm today. There's pictures on the event website. Duncan Ferguson and Alan Kelly obviously being confirmed. The more coaching appointments and backroom staff appointments will be made over the next few days. So there you go. All that Everton appointing Rafael Benitez stuff is over on the Everton website and on YouTube. Everton now expected to sign sporting midfield at Mathias Nunes. The deal is allegedly being agreed for £17 million for the 22-year-old. Now that the manager's in that is looking like that will go ahead in the next few days as Everton report back to pre-season training on the 5th of July. So hopefully get some players in ahead of the players coming back for the pre-season and hopefully that now is what Everton can concentrate on now that the manager is done and in the door Everton can look forward to getting some players in and ahead for the new season. So there you go. Obviously a big day for the club. We've done some videos earlier. Make sure to check them out on the reaction to Rafael Benitez becoming the new Everton manager.
