Real Madrid legend Raul is delighted taking the Castilla job.

Raul was named new coach of Castilla last week, having been promoted by the Juvenil B team.

"I am very happy and excited for this opportunity that the club gives me after achieving the (coaching) license and after only one year in the Cadet and Youth," said Raul.

"It is an important challenge and I really want to face it and, as always, expect to be up to the task."

Asked his priority, Raul added: "To educate the guys I have at my disposal what is Real Madrid, surely it will be a season full of enthusiasm."
