Raul’s Career Update: Insights from Del Bosque

Raul’s Recent Departure

Raul parted ways with the Castilla coaching role last summer. However, Real Madrid’s management chose Xabi Alonso as his successor instead of considering Raul for the position. His name was notably absent in discussions when Alvaro Arbeloa took over following Xabi’s departure.

Del Bosque’s Perspective

“Raul is one of my favorites. If he hasn’t accepted another position, it’s mainly because he chose not to,” Vicente Del Bosque shared during his appearance on El Larguero.

“In my view, he would have been an excellent candidate for the Real Madrid manager role.”

“I hold him in high regard and believe he has the potential to build a successful coaching career.”

At this stage, Raul finds himself without a club after exiting his role at Castilla.
