Raul Gonzalez, a Real Madrid great and current manager of the club’s reserve team, Castilla, is reportedly looking for a head coaching position in Germany’s Bundesliga next season, according to a report in the German sports daily SportBild.
The great striker, famed for his phenomenal goalscoring career with Real Madrid, is regarded as a rising talent in the coaching ranks.
After a good time with Castilla, Raul appears to be ready to move on to coach a senior squad in a big European league.
According to reports, clubs such as Hamburger SV and Union Berlin are interested in signing him. Raul’s experience in Germany, having played for Schalke 04 after leaving Real Madrid in 2010, could be a huge asset. His knowledge of the Bundesliga style of play would undoubtedly help the adjustment.
While this decision reflects his desire to manage at a higher level, Raul’s long-term relationship with Real Madrid suggests he may one day return to coach the first squad. Regardless of his ultimate destination, Raul’s progress as a coach promises to be an engrossing storyline for football fans throughout the world.
