Raoul opens the door to leave

Raul Gonzalez BlancoReal Madrid legend and current coach of Castilla, which he is in his fifth season in charge of.and, opens the door for exit from the entity. The current coach believes his time in youth football has come to an end after doing great work in Real Madrid’s youth academy and His agent Gines Carvajal is listening to offers. The news, reported by SER Deportivos and confirmed by AS, comes amid rumors that Sevilla intend to look for a project with him, something the Andalusian club categorically denies. Yes, several Bundesliga teams have knocked on the door of the mythical seven, but without any firm offer.

Raoul is open to exploring a future outside of his life’s team. Everything will depend on the proposals that finally arrive. His idea is to continue his coaching career. As the newspaper learned, Felix Magath called him in recent days: the legendary German coach who led him at Schalke, ask him to start a new journey with him in Germany.

Magath has an offer from a team at the top of the table, but it has not yet been revealed.

Raul’s big dream was always to get into the Madrid first team. It was in the summer of 2021 when he was closest after the unexpected farewell of Zidane, who published a letter in AS explaining the reasons for his resignation. At the time, the club very seriously considered promoting Raul to the first team, but it was decided that it would be better not to burn the bullet because the squad was in a complete state of transition, and Raul, thanks to the work he had done in his career, was considered to have a successful future. Then he looked at Allegri, at Conte… And finally the return of Ancelotti, which turned out to be an impressive success.

Now the situation for Raul is completely different. With Ancelotti fully established in a position recently revamped, with plenty of opportunities to win his second double in this second phase in charge of Real Madrid, and with Xabi Alonso as coach for now and in the bedroom, the seven is doing very well. difficult. In this situation, his hopes of becoming Real Madrid coach in the short term are almost completely washed out. As such, he believes his career on the bench is stagnant after five seasons in charge of Castilla.

Raul has two excellent options to find a team. The first is obviously the Spanish Championship, where no one can miss the two good seasons he spent at the helm of Castilla. with a team in which training takes precedence over competition. Two years ago they were left in the first round of the promotion play-offs against Ibiza. and last season he was two minutes away from promotion. Eldense scored in the 114th minute of extra time. The final score is 3-3 after 0-2. His greatest achievement win the Youth League, the only one that is in the windows of the enterprise, with the golden generation (Arribas, Miguel Gutierrez, Antonio Blanco, Latasa, Chust, Peter Federico…), in which everyone speaks highly of the coach.

Raúl will listen to the offers that come before the end of the season, although his biggest concern is to achieve consistency, since Castilla’s relegation in turn will prevent the promotion of Madrid C, which is practically a fact. This is where the seven are now concentrating their efforts. At the end of the season, he will have time to decide his future, depending on the offers he has on the table. On the part of the white club, the position is also clear. Raul works at Castilla until he feels that his stage is over. Raoul decides.
