Overview
- Reports published October 8, 2026 say Kroos has told the Royal Spanish Football Federation he intends to enrol on the special professional coaching course for the 2027–2028 season.
- He currently holds a coaching qualification that is valid up to Spain’s third division and legally limits him to assistant-coach roles on the professional bench.
- The 2027–2028 RFEF professional course awards the A licence on completion, which formally allows holders to manage teams at every professional level in Spain.
- Kroos continues to run and work at the Toni Kroos Academy in Boadilla and has remained linked to Real Madrid after retirement, with the club said to have considered bringing him into its structure last year.
- If he completes the course and earns the A licence, Kroos could move from youth and assistant work into head-coaching jobs, a path that could lead to roles inside Real Madrid’s system or other professional clubs and change his daily work from academy coaching to leading senior teams.
