BARCELONA (Reuters) - Fierce ambition and a studious approach to the game have marked Rafa Benitez's journey around Europe's top leagues and he now returns to his hometown club Real Madrid to take on one of the toughest coaching jobs in football.

Benitez quit Napoli last week to take over from the sacked Carlo Ancelotti at Real, where the eagle eyes of impatient, and deep-pocketed, president Florentino Perez will be scrutinising him from day one.
