Rumors abuzz in the soccer world suggest Union Berlin might unveil their new coach this weekend! According to whispers in the wind, the infamous Real Madrid legend, Raúl (46), could be the one stepping into the limelight.
Having spent part of his illustrious career in the Bundseliga with FC Schalke 04 (2010-2012), Raúl currently commands Real Madrid Castilla's U23 squad. If the gossip is true, Union Berlin would mark his debut in the professional coaching realm.
Recently, Union bid farewell to their outgoing head coach, Urs Fischer, after over five years in command. The duo of Marco Grote and Marie-Louise Eta stood in for the team during a drawn encounter against FC Augsburg. After the game, an optimistic Grote hinted at possibly continuing in his interim role for the Champions League match against SC Braga.
Union's president Dirk Zingler clearly stated he seeks a coach who witnesses authenticity and possesses a clear vision. If these developments prove to be indicative, the German club could be teetering on an exciting new chapter with their potential acquisition of this legendary figure.
