Real Madrid have given Raul the green light to become Villarreal’s new manager, reports in Spain have shown.

Raul has been impressing since taking charge of Los Blancos reserve team Real Madrid Castilla in 2019, and has been pursued by several clubs across Europe this summer, including Leeds United, Eintracht Frankfurt, Schalke and Espanyol.

So far, the Spaniard has decided to stay at the Bernabéu to focus on Real Madrid’s youth project, but the challenge of taking over as Villarreal manager is one that reportedly interests Raul.

Villarreal fired former head coach Quique Setien on Tuesday after a turbulent start to the new LaLiga season.

The Yellow Submarine is 15th in the league heading into the international break, with just one win and three losses in its first four games.
