There is likely to be movement in Villarreal in the coming hours. After a moribund start to the season punctuated by three defeats in four La Liga days, Villarreal made the decision to part ways with their coach, Quique Sétien, on the sidelines of the setback against Cadiz (3-1), this weekend. Since then, the Yellow Submarine has been working behind the scenes to find his worthy successor and has set his sights on Raùl.
Currently coach of Real Madrid Castilla since 2019, the former glory merengue is announced as one of the presumed heirs of Carlo Ancelotti at the head of the first team. But according to Mundo Deportivo, there is a good chance that the former Spanish international (102 caps, 44 goals) will reach a milestone in his young coaching career outside the Spanish capital. Indeed, the Iberian media informs that Real Madrid has authorized the Madrilenian to negotiate with Villarreal for his arrival. Raùl would be interested in the challenge offered by the Yellow Submarine. At the same time, Real Madrid already seems to have found its replacement in the person of Alvaro Arbeloa, another former White House official.
