Nearly seven years have passed since Raul played his final game of professional football, but the Real Madrid legend has been hard at work in the time since as he works his way up the coaching ladder.
After scoring more than 300 times for Los Blancos, and a handful more in Germany, Qatar and the United States, Raul hung up his boots after ending his stint with the New York Cosmos in 2015. Since then, though, he has been welcomed back into the fold in Madrid with a managerial role in charge of the 'Castilla' team - the second-string side which has prepared the likes of current first-teamers Lucas Vazquez and Nacho for first-team football.
Raul's development has seen him linked with jobs in top European leagues, with Eintracht Frankfurt reportedly considering a move before settling on eventual Europa League winner Oliver Glasner. Madrid themselves were said to be open to promoting the Spaniard to first-team duties as well, eventually opting for Carlo Ancelotti, but there are many who see Raul as a future manager of the European champions.
