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.
Nigerian footballer Victor Osimhen spoke about his childhood days and the difficult experiences he faced growing up.
He revealed that his mother was the breadwinner of the family and that her death deeply affected them.
“My mom was the breadwinner of the family, but she and my dad never had issues because of it.”
He shared that when his mother passed away, they not only missed her emotionally but also struggled financially without her support.
Fans related to his story and applauded how he has now risen to greatness.
It has been revealed that Ruben Amorim’s possible next step could be taking over as Benfica’s manager, replacing José Mourinho at S.L. Benfica.
It can be recalled that the manager was released from Manchester United F.C. in January and has since been seeking his next step.
He has now emerged as the top candidate to become Benfica’s new manager.
Rio Ferdinand has reacted to talks surrounding Xabi Alonso and the managerial position at Real Madrid.
It was reported that Xabi Alonso had signed a contract with the club to become their manager.
Ferdinand then shared his thoughts on the move “I’m genuinely surprised he’s taken that position. I’m not suggesting he’s the wrong choice.
“The reason I’m taken aback by his decision is that I thought he would have been patient enough to see how the Arne Slot situation at Liverpool would unfold.”
He explained that Alonso could have possibly become Liverpool manager with enough time and also spoke about Alonso’s love for the club.
