Real Madrid has had a difficult season. Currently, the defending Spanish champions are only in third place in La Liga and have a full ten points up to the city rivals from Atlético Madrid in first place. In the Spanish Super Cup, they reached only the semi-finals where the Basque side, Athletic Bilbao knocked them out in a 2-1 scoreline, while in the Spanish Cup they lost to the unnoticed CD Alcoyano from the third best row.

The management of Real Madrid should not be ready to throw Zinedine Zidane at the gate yet, but they should have begun to consider a future without the French coach, that according to the big Spanish football show El Larguero.

Sources should have told the show that Real Madrid legend Raul Gonzalez should be the favorite for the job in the future. The club should have been impressed that he won the UEFA Youth League with the club's U19 team. Raul is currently the coach of the club's B team.

Another candidate who should also be in play is former Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri, who won five Italian championships with Juventus.

Raul played a total of 741 matches for Real Madrid after his debut in 1994. He was at the club for 17 years and scored 324 goals.
