Benitez, who had attracted admiring glances from Premier League side Wolves in recent months, was due to be a free agent next month when his previous deal was due to expire.

Speaking following the announcement, Benitez said:

“This was the thing to do for my career. I feel very good here. A great project began last year with INEOS. This is a great club in France but also abroad. This is very positive.”
