Real Madrid are
considering hiring former striker Raul to replace Santiago Solari as manager
for next season, according to reports in Spain.
Club president Florentino
Perez is said to have completely lost patience with poor results under Solari,
to the extent that even winning the Champions League would not save
him.
Perez has reportedly drawn
up a shortlist of candidates, including notable managerial names like Mauricio
Pochettino, Joachim Low and Max Allegri.
However, according to
Spanish news outlet Sport, another name on the list is former Real
striker Raul.
The big names are all
under long term contracts, and if Perez is unable to woo any of them to the
Bernabeu, he will reportedly turn to Raul as his plan b.
Raul is in charge of the
Juvenil B youth team at Real, however his star power and the respect he holds
from players and fans in Madrid make up for his top level managerial
experience.
The former Spain
international was put in charge of the youth team last week after Alvaro Benito
was sacked for criticising Casemiro and Toni Kroos on a radio show.
Raul won his first game in
charge - 4-1 against Leganes - and is reportedly well-regarded enough by Perez
to be placed among the candidates to replace Solari.
Solari's position is under
threat after they lost back to back Clasicos at home to Barcelona, eliminating
them from the Copa del Rey and leaving Real 12 points off the top of La Liga.
Raul scored 325 goals in
741 games for Real, winning three Champions Leagues, six La Liga titles. He
also scored 44 times in 103 appearances for Spain.
