Raúl González will not continue at Real Madrid next season. His contract as Castilla's coach ends on June 30, and it is decided by all parties that he will leave the club. He has no option to move up to the first team, something he has been requesting for some time, and he has preferred to seek new opportunities. He needs to give a new direction to his coaching career and believes that his time with the youth teams should be concluded.
Raúl González, Farewell to Real Madrid
Although he hasn't been achieving the expected results with Castilla, the reality is that Raúl González's reputation hasn't diminished at all in recent years. Multiple teams have contacted him and Real Madrid to try to hire him, but this much-desired opportunity has never materialized.
Bild has revealed that in Germany, there is a team willing to take the Castilla coach: we're talking about Schalke 04. There, Raúl González spent some years of his career after leaving Real Madrid, and now they offer him a place to continue his initial coaching career.
Schalke 04 has put a contract on Raúl's table to take the helm of the project for the coming years. They offer him full authority to decide on signings and recruitment policies. They are tired of remaining in the Second Division and want to return to the elite with the legendary former footballer.
The promotion options for Schalke 04 are very limited... so everything seems to indicate that they will continue next season in Bundesliga 2. Raúl González seems satisfied with the project and is ready to leave Real Madrid and take the next step in his career.
Raúl González to Schalke 04: Rejected Other Offers
He has thought it over a lot, but Raúl González is ready to leave Real Madrid. He will do so when the current season ends, coinciding with the end of his contract. He will head to Schalke 04, seeing it as the best possible project to continue growing in coaching.
In recent years, the former footballer has attracted the interest of multiple top-level teams, but he has turned them all down. Villarreal or Union Berlin are some of the most notable examples.
Now, he will manage Schalke 04, where they give him full authority and the opportunity to feel important on their bench. An unbeatable destination for Raúl González.
