Raul open to Real Madrid presidential role

It is not just a coaching role that would tempt Raul back to the Santiago Bernabeu, with the 38-year-old not ruling out taking over as the top dog.

Real Madrid icon Raul says he will not rule out taking up any position, including that of president, when he decides to return to the club.

The 38-year-old remains a hero at the Santiago Bernabeu club, lifting numerous trophies and becoming the club's record goal scorer with 323 strikes – a total only bettered by Cristiano Ronaldo.

After spells at Schalke, Al Sadd and the New York Cosmos, Raul opted to call time on his glittering playing career last December.
