Raúl is Leaving Real Madrid. The Ambitouus Coach is ready for new challenges after Six Years.
Madrid’s club legend Raúl is facing the temporary end of his coaching career in the Spanish capital. According to consistent reports in Spanish media, the 47-year-old will leave Real’s reserve team at the end of the season after six years. His successor will likely be Álvaro Arbeloa, who currently coaches the U19s.
Raúl has already communicated the decision to his environment and the players. On the whole, he will “leave in a good way”, the Spanish sports newspaper AS is sure, according to which the lack of promotion opportunities internally was decisive.
Raúl wants probably Leave Real Madrid in the Summer
He is therefore leaving the club with a “bitter feeling because he has not fulfilled his dream”. Raúl apparently wanted to be on the sidelines with the first team of the club. However, the door should never open for him – neither when Zidane left in 2021 nor when Carlo Ancelotti leaves.
Real Idea “A drop in the ocean”
“Another drop in the ocean” was the club’s decision to install Santiago Solari as a possible interim solution for the Club World Cup should Xabi Alonso’s arrival be delayed.
Now it’s time to say goodbye. Raúl had recently spoken publicly about feeling ready for a new task. “I feel more confident every day and ready for any challenge,” said the former world-class striker after the game against Fuenlabrada. His team is in 6th place in the table in the 2nd tier of the 3rd division.
In the past, clubs, including his former club Schalke 04, have repeatedly knocked on the door. According to the report from Spain, in addition to the Royal Blues, Villarreal and Leeds United are also said to have been interested. A commitment in Gelsenkirchen never really appealed to the Spaniard; most recently, Schalke is said to have reoriented itself.
