Real Madrid Poised for Academy Reshuffle With Raul & Xabi Alonso Set for Promotions

Real Madrid are set for an academy reshuffle over the summer with the club's former striker Raul set to take charge of the Castilla side, while former midfielder Xabi Alonso will manage the Juvinel A side.

Both have enjoyed success as part of Los Blancos' academy set-up this season, with Raul moving from the Cadete B to the Juvinel B side, while Alonso has already guided the club's Under-13 side to the Division de Honor title.

As a result, Spanish media outlet Marca are reporting that the pair are set to earn promotions come the end of the season at La Fabrica, with the club's former striker poised to take the reigns of the Castilla side (the reserves) while the former midfielder will be handed the Under-18s.
