American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett are rewarding their Spanish manager for his success so far this season.
WhileLiverpool topped their group to ensure an easier draw in the knockoutstage, Benitez's advisor was penning the fine print on afour-and-a-half year contract.
The final package will besettled over the next few days, but it is thought he will earn inexcess of £16million over the course of the deal.
The deal is a victory for Benitez, who said the length of the contract, not the money, was the issue.
