Sevilla add Real Madrid legend Raúl to managerial shortlist

A fresh insight into the ongoing efforts of the board at La Liga outfit Sevilla to source a potential replacement for manager Quique has on Wednesday been forthcoming online.

Speculation surrounding the bench at Sevilla has of course begun to mount over the course of recent weeks.

This comes amid claims that Quique is inching towards the exit door.

Though the Spaniard has done a solid job in guiding the Nervionenses away from the La Liga relegation zone, his relationship with sporting director Víctor Orta is a fractured one.

Quique’s continuation into next season, as a result, is far from assured, with the brass at The Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán having already begun work towards sourcing a replacement.

The likes of Jagoba Arrasate, Enzo Maresca and Paulo Fonseca have all been tipped for the post over recent weeks.

And, as alluded to above, on Wednesday, yet another name has been added to the shortlist of candidates to take up the reins in Andalusia.

As per a report from Mundo Deportivo, citing Relevo, Raúl González has made his way back into the sights of the Sevilla hierarchy.

Real Madrid icon Raúl was previously linked with the manager’s post in Seville following the dismissal of José Luis Mendilibar, albeit with Diego Alonso having ultimately been preferred.

But the Real Castilla headmaster will be firmly back on the agenda, in the case of Quique being moved on in the summer.
