Raúl González is preparing to leave his position as coach of Real Madrid Castilla at the end of this season, as reported by MARCA, after reaching an agreement with Schalke 04, his former club where he played as a footballer for two seasons before leaving European football.
This move marks the end of a six-year era in the White's reserve team, where he has played a key role in shaping young talents. The decision was expected to materialize, and it is now confirmed that the former striker will take charge of the team playing in the second German division.
The change in direction at Real Madrid Castilla also brings the appointment of Álvaro Arbeloa as his successor. Arbeloa, current coach of the U-19 team, will take over the reins of the reserve team, according to Marca, confirming the club's trust in him.
Real Madrid does not want him to leave the club
Despite his departure from Real Madrid Castilla, where he has not had good results at the beginning of this season (1 win, 3 draws, and 3 losses in 7 matches), Real Madrid intends for Raúl to remain connected to the club. There are rumors that he could take on a new role within Carlo Ancelotti's coaching staff or get involved in scouting, contributing to the identification of new talents for the youth academy. The club wants to keep him, but Raúl wants to continue working on the sidelines and has liked the option of the German team.
Schalke 04, on the other hand, is in a delicate situation in the Bundesliga 2, currently occupying thirteenth place. Raúl's arrival could be key to revitalizing a team that seeks to improve its performance and return to the elite of German football. Fans hope that Raúl's leadership, known for his commitment and professionalism, will mark a new beginning for the club.
