Real Madrid revolution: Legendary striker QUITS after being snubbed for Xabi Alonso, as Luka Modric becomes SECOND iconic player to reveal this weekend will be his last game at the Bernabeu
Another Real Madrid legend will be departing the club when the current season comes to end, having missed out on the top job the Bernabeu.
It was announced on Thursday that midfielder Luka Modric will leave after 13 trophy-laden years.
The Croatian, 39, has become one of the greatest players in the history of the Spanish outfit since joining from Tottenham in 2012, going on to become their most decorated player ever.
And he won’t be the only club great to make his exit as former Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso comes in to take the reigns from Carlo Ancelotti.
Marca report that legendary Los Blancos striker Raul is set to leave his role as manager of Real Madrid Castilla, the club’s second team.
Raul has been in the post for over six years but Marca claim he will make way as part of a ‘revolution’ at Madrid, having been snubbed for the first team managerial role.

He is set to be replaced by Alvaro Arbeloa, who made 98 appearances for Liverpool from 2006 to 2009.
The Spaniard is already in the Madrid youth set-up where he has coached their Juvenil A, better known as their under-19s, since 2022.
Arbeloa began his Madrid coaching career in September 2020 when he took charge of the club’s under-14 side.
During his time at Liverpool, Arbeloa helped the club finish third, fourth and second but unfortunately failed to secure any silverware.
He came frustratingly close to doing so as the Reds finished runners-up in the 2006-07 Champions League and made it to the semi-finals of the same tournament the following year.
However, it wasn’t long before he added to his trophy cabinet once he moved to Real Madrid, the club he began his professional career, in 2009.
Arbeloa helped Madrid win LaLiga in 2011-12 as well as the Copa Del Ray in 2011 and 2014.
