<p>According to <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/real-madrid/2024/10/09/67069a65e2704e50bc8b45a7.html" target="_blank"><em>Marca</em></a><em>, </em>the former Spanish striker has officially communicated his decision to vacate the post to Real's top bosses after spending six years in charge. He is set to be replaced by another club legend, Arbeloa, the former right-back, who is currently managing the club’s Juvenil A team. His appointment is seen as a natural progression after his successful tenure with the youth teams, where he has garnered praise for his style and leadership.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Although Raul will no longer be managing Castilla, the club intends to retain him in a new role. Two potential options are being discussed. The first is for Raul to join the coaching staff of the first team under Carlo Ancelotti, with whom Raul has a strong relationship. This move could offer him the opportunity to further refine his coaching skills at the highest level. The second possibility is for him to assume a more administrative role within the youth academy, where he would collaborate with figures such as Santiago Solari and Manu Fernandez to strengthen the development of future talents.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Raul’s managerial career began within Real Madrid’s youth academy seven seasons ago, where he first took charge of Cadete B in the 2018-2019 season. His early success saw him earn 18 wins in that debut campaign. He later took over Juvenil B, before being appointed as Castilla’s head coach for the 2019-2020 season. Over the course of his time with Castilla, Raul has managed 178 games, winning 71 of them. Under his leadership, Castilla also came close to securing promotion to Spain’s Segunda División, narrowly missing out in the 2022-2023 season after losing the promotion playoff final against Eldense.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Throughout his time with Castilla, Raul has been the subject of interest from numerous clubs looking to appoint him as head coach. However, he has consistently chosen to remain at Real Madrid and his dedication to the club’s long-term vision and player development has been a hallmark of his tenure. The next few months will determine the exact nature of Raul’s new role, but one thing is clear: his journey with Real Madrid is far from complete, and his next chapter promises to be as impactful as the last.</p>
