Overview
- Real Oviedo dismissed Julián Calero and announced Raúl González as first‑team coach on Monday, November 9, 2026.
- Raúl takes the job as his first professional senior role after six seasons with Real Madrid’s youth teams and Castilla and after winning the 2020 UEFA Youth League.
- The club sits ninth with 21 points, one point from the playoff places and six points from automatic promotion, which helps explain the ownership’s urgency.
- Grupo Pachuca and its president Jesús Martínez drove the change during events in Hidalgo, Mexico, continuing a pattern of midseason coaching moves since the group took control in 2022.
- Raúl will be presented this week and will debut at the Carlos Tartiere against Girona on Saturday, November 14, where his ability to translate youth success to senior results will face immediate scrutiny and shape Oviedo’s promotion hopes.
