Raúl is one of a number of retired Spain internationals currently taking part in a coaching course run by the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).

Ex-Barcelona 'keeper Víctor Valdés visited Leganés on Wednesday, while Xavi, Marcos Senna, and Xabi Alonso are also enrolled. Part of the course is to spend some time observing training methods at a professional club. 

Raúl, 40, is expected to take charge of Real Madrid's Juvenil B side (16-18-year-old players), currently led by Álvaro Benito.
