Raul Says He’s Fine at Castilla as Talks of Replacing Ancelotti Grow
Real Madrid legend Raul has addressed the ongoing speculation about him possibly taking over from Carlo Ancelotti as the club’s next head coach.
With questions surrounding Ancelotti’s future at the Bernabeu, reports have suggested that the Italian tactician might part ways with the club at the end of the season. He’s also been strongly linked to the Brazil national team job, especially as his current deal with Real Madrid is set to expire in 2026.
Raul, who currently manages Real Madrid Castilla and has been in that role since 2019, responded calmly when asked about the situation. He made it clear that he’s not letting the rumours distract him.
“I’m happy where I am,” Raul said. “This is where I want to be. When the time comes, and the club decides on anything—if they do—we’ll talk about it. But right now, the focus is on staying calm.”
He emphasized the importance of focusing on the present, as the season is nearing its final stretch and there’s still a lot on the line. Raul added that discussions about his future or any big decisions will come later, stressing that he’s completely at ease for now.
The former striker is one of the most iconic figures in the club’s history, having played 16 seasons in Madrid’s first team. He made 741 appearances, scored 323 goals, and provided 135 assists during his career with the Spanish giants.
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.

The footballer will be joining Chicago Fire. It can be recalled that he visited the club two weeks ago, and the move has now been confirmed. The information was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
