Real Oviedo have appointed Raúl González as their new head coach, the Segunda División club confirmed on Monday. The former Real Madrid captain, 49, has signed a contract until June 2028 and takes charge of his first senior club job.
The appointment follows the dismissal of Julián Calero, who was sacked on Monday despite a 2-1 win at Cádiz on Saturday. Estanis Pedrola and Ilyas Chaira scored for Oviedo in that match, and Urko Izeta replied for Cádiz. Calero, 56, had been in charge since the summer and was under contract until the end of the season. Oviedo have also confirmed that his coaching staff have left the club.
Oviedo are ninth in the table with 21 points from 13 games. Raúl's first match in charge is at home to Girona on Saturday 14 November at the Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere.
