Real Madrid legend Raúl González has been named the new head coach of Spanish second division side Real Oviedo.
It's Raúl's first management role in senior football after previously being in charge of Real Madrid's reserves, Real Madrid Castilla, for six years before his departure in 2025.
The 49-year-old succeeds Julián Calero, who was dismissed after less than five months at the helm earlier on Monday.
"Real Oviedo has reached an agreement to appoint Raúl González Blanco as the new first-team manager until June 2028," the club said in a statement.
Raúl won three UEFA Champions League titles and six La Liga trophies during a decorated 16-season stint at the Santiago Bernabeu, where he netted 323 goals in 741 games for Real Madrid - a previous club record before it was surpassed by Cristiano Ronaldo in 2015.
The former Spain striker will partner with his son, Héctor González, who joined Oviedo's reserves from Cadiz B in August on a three-year contract.
Oviedo are currently perched ninth in the Segunda Division standings with Saturday's 2-1 victory over Cádiz marking their sixth league win of the season.
Los Azules were relegated from La Liga with a whimper last term as they finished bottom of the pile on 29 points, 13 points adrift of safety.
It was Oviedo's first top-flight season in 24 years after they were promoted via the play-offs during the 2024/25 campaign.
Raúl's first match will be against Girona at the Estadio Carlos Tartiere on Saturday.
Oviedo are 16/1 outsiders to win the Segunda Division title under Raúl with UD Almeria, who are minority owned by Cristiano Ronaldo, at the head of the betting.
