Enrique Riquelme confirms Raúl González as his sporting director

Real Madrid legend Raúl González will be the club’s sporting director if Enrique Riquelme wins the upcoming elections, said the candidate during an interview with Cadena SER.

He is the right individual to lead a sports project such as the one approaching at Real Madrid. That would be Mr. Raúl González Blanco. If I become president, Raúl will be Real Madrid’s sporting director. The project’s scope, expectations and his potential contributions necessitated a detailed explanation. He is uniquely qualified for this position. Furthermore, several Real Madrid legends are slated to join the initiative.

Riquelme also said that he also has an agreement with a coach.

Indeed, I already have one. My intention is to announce names throughout the week. Each day will bring new surprises from distinguished professionals, some of whom are prominent Real Madrid supporters who will be joining. The name will be revealed after the other player, following Wednesday.

Florentino Pérez will almost certainly win the election, but it will also be interesting to see his next move during the campaign.
