Oviedo sack Calero: Raúl González will be the new manager

Oviedo sack Calero: Raúl González will be the new manager Not even Real Oviedo’s victory at the Nuevo Mirandilla was enough to save Julián Calero. Despite taking three points against Cádiz and putting Oviedo firmly in the hunt for the promotion play-off places, Grupo Pachuca has decided to part ways with him. In his place, the Asturian club’s majority shareholder has turned to Raúl González Blanco to take charge and lead the push for promotion to the top flight, following the end of his spell with Real Madrid’s academy and reserve team. Calero’s future was already hanging by a thread before the trip to Cádiz following two particularly painful setbacks. The first came in the Copa del Rey, where Numancia (from the Segunda Federación) knocked the Blues out on penalties after a 3-3 draw that exposed serious defensive weaknesses. Days later, defeat to UD Las Palmas at the Carlos Tartiere shattered what confidence remained. The victory over Cádiz was not enough to restore the board’s faith. Jesús Martínez made the coach’s dismissal official on Monday, paving the way for Raúl’s new project. For the Real Madrid legend, this opportunity marks his first managerial role in professional football after his lengthy development spell at La Fábrica and in charge of Real Madrid Castilla.
