Real Madrid confirm Raul Gonzalez replacement
After it was confirmed this week that Raul Gonzalez would be moving on, Real Madrid have announced his successor. It was well-known that Los Blancos have been impressed by him, and Alvaro Arbeloa will indeed take over as the Real Madrid Castilla manager ahead of the season. Arbeloa had been positioned to replace Raul as early as last summer, depending on whether he left.

The legendary forward also made it clear he planned to return later in his career. Alvaro Arbeloa takes over from Raul As detailed by the club statement, Arbeloa has a strong grounding at Real Madrid, coming through their academy system between 2001 and 2005. He would then return as a senior player in 2009, and make 238 appearances in seven years, winning eight trophies in the process, including two Champions Leagues and a Liga title. Image via Real Madrid CF Arbeloa has been amongst the youth ranks as a coach at Real Madrid for the past five years, first returning in 2020. For the past three years, he has been in charge of the under-19 side, where he has won the league twice, the Copa del Rey and Champions Cup for their respective age ranges. The 42-year-old has plenty of respect at Real Madrid, and supposedly the ear of President Florentino Perez.

Raul looks set to pursue a managerial career elsewhere, with consistent interest from Germany, where he played for Schalke at the end of his career. Over the past two years, Villarreal, Espanyol and Sevilla have supposedly taken an interest in him. The word is that he was holding out for the senior job at Real Madrid, but Alonso's appointment is a third time he has been passed over. Meanwhile another former Real Madrid forward Julio Baptista is expected to take on a new role.

Real Madrid revolution: Legendary striker QUITS after being snubbed for Xabi Alonso, as Luka Modric becomes SECOND iconic player to reveal this weekend will be his last game at the Bernabeu
Another Real Madrid legend will be departing the club when the current season comes to end, having missed out on the top job the Bernabeu. It was announced on Thursday that midfielder Luka Modric will leave after 13 trophy-laden years. The Croatian, 39, has become one of the greatest players in the history of the Spanish outfit since joining from Tottenham in 2012, going on to become their most decorated player ever. And he won't be the only club great to make his exit as former Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso comes in to take the reigns from Carlo Ancelotti. Marca report that legendary Los Blancos striker Raul is set to leave his role as manager of Real Madrid Castilla, the club's second team. Raul has been in the post for over six years but Marca claim he will make way as part of a 'revolution' at Madrid, having been snubbed for the first team managerial role. He is set to be replaced by Alvaro Arbeloa, who made 98 appearances for Liverpool from 2006 to 2009. The Spaniard is already in the Madrid youth set-up where he has coached their Juvenil A, better known as their under-19s, since 2022. Arbeloa began his Madrid coaching career in September 2020 when he took charge of the club's under-14 side. During his time at Liverpool, Arbeloa helped the club finish third, fourth and second but unfortunately failed to secure any silverware. He came frustratingly close to doing so as the Reds finished runners-up in the 2006-07 Champions League and made it to the semi-finals of the same tournament the following year. However, it wasn't long before he added to his trophy cabinet once he moved to Real Madrid, the club he began his professional career, in 2009. Arbeloa helped Madrid win LaLiga in 2011-12 as well as the Copa Del Ray in 2011 and 2014.
