‎Real Madrid legend Raul Gonzalez lands Real Oviedo job 

Real Madrid legend Raul Gonzalez has been named the new head coach of Real Oviedo following the club’s decision to part ways with Julian Calero.

‎Despite a recent victory over Cadiz, Real Oviedo ownership group, spearheaded by majority shareholder Jesus Martinez and the Grupo Pachuca board, believe a new manager is needed to lead the team.

‎The club confirmed the news on Monday, releasing an official statement noting that Calero, who was originally under contract until June 2027, would leave the club immediately.

‎It marks a cold end for Calero, who had only just managed to steady the ship following a difficult run of results.

‎Ultimately, the hierarchy decided that the legendary Raul Gonzalez was the man to lead them into a new era.

‎According to AS, Raul would take charge of the squad knowing promotion mandate is the ultimate goal.

‎The legendary former striker arrives at the Estadio Carlos Tartiere having recently concluded his developmental stint with Los Blancos’ youth setup and Real Madrid Castilla. 

‎He will now be eager to impress on the big stage. Raul will have a full week to prepare his squad for a high-stakes debut this Saturday evening.

‎Oviedo are scheduled to host Girona at the Carlos Tartiere, a match that carries significant weight in the current league standings given both teams are locked on the same number of points.

‎Girona will arrive in Asturias looking to bounce back from their own recent defeat against Almeria, making this a pivotal clash for two promotion hopefuls.
