With Xabi Alonso in charge, a new era is brewing for the next season at the Royal Club. However, until then, Real Madrid is on the hunt for an interim coach to take them through, including the Club World Cup in the USA. As per Spanish newspaper "AS," legendary club member Raúl could be the surprise contender for the role.
Will Raúl Step Up?
Raúl, aged 47, is currently coaching Real's second team but faces an uncertain future as his contract expires at the end of June. Extending his contract, if only temporarily, might be the key to bring him into the hot seat. But is Raúl ready to seize the opportunity, and does he want to?
At 47, Raúl is keen to prove himself as a coach and take control of a team in the summer. Another potential candidate for the interim post is Santiago Solari, who previously stepped up in a difficult situation back in 2019.
A Fresh Era at the Royal Club:
According to the enrichment data, the decision to appoint Xabi Alonso as the permanent coach for the new era at Real Madrid has already been made. Impressing with his coaching at Bayer Leverkusen, Alonso is expected to take over after Ancelotti's departure. His arrival is planned for the summer, and an interim appointment may not be needed if the transition goes smoothly. However, if any complications arise, Solari, or other internal candidates, may still be considered for the time being.
- Raúl, current coach of Real Madrid's second team, might be the interim coach for Real Madrid during Ancelotti's departure, given his keenness to prove himself as a coach and his contract's upcoming expiration.
- If Raúl is appointed as interim coach, Alonso, who has impressed as coach at Bayer Leverkusen, is expected to take over as the permanent coach for the new era at Real Madrid after a smooth transition from Ancelotti.
