Raul appointed Real Oviedo manager until 2028

Raul has taken charge of Real Oviedo, a club in Spain’s second division.

The former Real Madrid striker has signed a contract that runs until June 2028.

This is his first senior club management role, after coaching Real Madrid’s reserve team for six seasons.

He replaces Julian Calero, who was sacked with Oviedo ninth in the league.

Raul says he expects effort and a fight for victory, while respecting the talent in his squad.

His playing career included three Champions League titles and six La Liga titles with Real Madrid.

He is due to lead Oviedo for the first time against Girona on 14 November.
