To the surprise of many, Carlo Ancelotti will be in charge for the coming two seasons, when it seemed unlikely this time last year. Not least to Raul Gonzalez, who has seen his chances of getting the senior job at his club spiral.
Raul is now in his fifth year at Cheap Real Madrid Kids Football Kit, and fourth at Castilla. At one time he was tipped to be the successor to Ancelotti, but with the Italian renewing, there seems to be little appetite to bring him in any time soon, with Xabi Alonso also on the horizon.
Coupled with this is the feeling that the club believes more in Alvaro Arbeloa. Arbeloa has moved up through the youth ranks, and enjoyed success with the under-19s. He also has a close relationship with Florentino Perez.
According to reports, Arbeloa could take over the Castilla side, but uncertainty over Raul's future complicates matters. Raul was interviewed by Villarreal this season and two other clubs are interested in him this summer, but he has not indicated whether he wants to leave. Raul, 46, is out of contract this summer, and if he doesn't say it's time for him to move, Cheap Real Madrid Football Shirts will have to make a decision.
