Real Oviedo, Raúl González and Julián Calero
9 November 2026
Real Oviedo have appointed former Real Madrid captain Raúl González as their new first-team manager on a contract running until June 2028. The 49-year-old replaces Julián Calero at the Spanish second-division club.
Raúl moves into his first senior professional managerial position after spending six seasons coaching Real Madrid Castilla. He previously worked through Madrid’s academy system and won the UEFA Youth League in 2020. Oviedo are competing for promotion back to La Liga after relegation last season. The new coach inherits a team sitting eighth in the standings and will begin his tenure against Girona.
Why It Matters
Raúl begins his senior managerial career with an immediate opportunity to guide Oviedo into promotion contention.
