Raul's German Adventure: Where Will the Real Madrid Legend Land?
As Raul Eyes Management Move, Bundesliga Beckons with Union Berlin and Hamburg in Hot Pursuit
After steering Real Madrid Castilla since June 2019, Raul now eyes a managerial promotion amid closed avenues to lead Los Blancos' senior squad. Reports from AS indicate that the revered striker garners attention from Germany, with Bundesliga contenders Union Berlin and second-tier club Hamburg expressing keen interest in the 46-year-old.
Of particular note is Hamburg's link, with former manager Felix Magath reportedly playing a pivotal role as he eyes the position of the club's sporting director. Magath, who previously led Raul during his impactful spell at Schalke, shares a strong rapport with the ex-Real Madrid star. Meanwhile, Union Berlin had considered Raul as a potential candidate earlier in the season following Urs Fischer's departure, although they ultimately appointed Nenad Bjelica.
Raul's Bundesliga experience with Schalke from 2010 to 2012, where he attained legendary status, adds weight to his managerial credentials. Winning the DFB-Pokal in 2010-11 and amassing 40 goals in 97 appearances, including notable performances in the Champions League, underscores his prowess.
