Recently, Villarreal put an end to Quique Setién’s adventure on the sidelines. After a bad start to the season – 1 victory and 3 defeats in 4 days – the team from the Valencia region terminated the contract of the former Barça coach. If everything indicates that Sergio Pacheta will take over, there has long been talk of Raul Gonzalez, the legend of Real Madrid.
The Real Madrid Castilla coach was very keen to join the Yellow Submarine, and the interest was mutual, although the final choice fell on another coach. As the daily indicates Sportthis story however risks costing the former striker, who had communicated to his management his desire to leave for Villarreal.
Leaders have it bad
And for good reason, it was not at all popular internally. Raul now finds himself in a complicated situation on the Madrid side, and the performances of his team will be observed even more critically by management. So much so that the Merengue staff are already thinking of giving their position to Alvaro Arbeloa, current U19 coach.
Worse still, it could cost him even more in the future. Indeed, many believed that he was one of the big favorites to replace Carlo Ancelotti at the head of the first team at the end of the season, alongside Xabi Alonso in particular. Well following this desire to leave for Villarreal, it is practically dead for Raul to coach Real Madrid in the near future. Needless to say, he has lost almost everything in recent days…
