Legend of Real Madrid Raul Gonzalez was part of the installation of young people at Real Madrid for the last six years, but this will be his last season in charge of Real Madrid Castilla. The 47-year-old started out with the under-19s but quickly moved to the Castilian side after winning the UEFA Youth League, and at one point was even considered a potential candidate to take over the senior job.
That speech has dropped significantly, and Marco say that Real Madrid has informed him that this is his last year that he will be head of Castile. Raul has come close to promotion on a couple of occasions from the third tier, but after a mediocre season last year, and with Castilla currently in the relegation zone, there has been little sign of improvement.
It's his sixth season in charge of Castilla, and few players have made it to the first team, although this is in no small part due to Carlo Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane's lack of interest in using more players. young people Raul will be given the option of taking a more office-based role in the academy, or the other potential option available to him is joining the coaching staff in the first team. He has an excellent relationship with Carlo Ancelotti, and the Italian has called for more reinforcements in his coaching staff.
More than the results of Castilla, one of the key factors in the movement is potentially Alvaro Arbeloa. He is seen as a potential first-team manager at some point by the club, after good results with the under-17s and now the under-19s. He will take over from Raul next summer, in a move that some expected earlier.
Of course, the third way for Raul could be to leave Los Blancos, and pursue a career elsewhere. There have been frequent links with other jobs in Germany, notably former team Schalke, as well as other teams in Spain. Raul was interviewed by Villarreal and Espanyol in 2024 and 2023, but was ultimately ignored.
