Villarreal had the opportunity from Real Madrid to talk to Raúl for his first coaching job in La Liga, but the former striker chose to remain active at Real Madrid. Ultimately, Pacheta succeeded Quique Setién.
Raúl has been associated with Real Madrid's second team since 2019, and last season, under his guidance, the reserves nearly earned promotion to the second tier in Spain. Raúl continues his work with the second team.
AS knows why the former striker made this choice. Firstly, during the negotiations, Raúl was not entirely convinced by Villarreal's vision. According to the Spanish media, Raúl will only step in at another club if he is one hundred percent convinced.
This is also influenced by the contract situation of Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti. According to AS, Raúl is well aware that the Italian head coach will leave after this season, and then they will have to look for a new coach for Real Madrid.
