Raúl González leaves his post as Real Madrid Castilla coach
Raúl González ended his spell in charge of Real Madrid's reserve side, Castilla, closing a long chapter in the club's youth structure.
This summary was written by AI to complete the context; it is not based on a current source.
In June 2025, Raúl González stepped down as coach of Real Madrid Castilla, the club's reserve team, which plays in Spain's third tier. His departure ended several years working in the club's academy system.
Raúl, the club's all-time great and a former captain, began his coaching career in the youth ranks after retiring as a player. He worked with younger age groups before taking charge of Castilla, whose job is to prepare academy graduates for the first team while competing in the lower divisions of Spanish football.
The exit mattered because Raúl had long been seen as one of the club's most prominent homegrown figures and a possible future senior coach. Leaving Castilla freed him to look for a new project outside Madrid's youth system, and it set him on the path that later led to a first-team job at another Spanish club, Real Oviedo.
