Raúl González Blanco, designated as sporting director if the Alicante businessman wins Sunday's election, 'will contact the German coach on Monday the 8th' to present the sports project and the desire for him to lead a new era from the bench.

The campaign acknowledged Klopp's public statements indicating he is not planning to return to coaching in the short term and has rejected numerous offers. However, they believe the challenge of coaching Real Madrid is distinct, emphasizing that while many great clubs exist, there is only one Real Madrid.

We know that Jürgen Klopp has publicly stated that he has no intention of returning to the benches in the short term and that he has rejected numerous offers. Precisely for this reason, we believe that the challenge of Real Madrid is different. Because there are great clubs, but there is only one Real Madrid.

The statement, initially drafted in English as a gesture to Klopp, highlighted that Raúl González presented only one name: a coach who has left a significant mark on world football. The campaign praised this coach for instilling identity, character, leadership, and a winning culture based on collective effort wherever he has managed.

He has presented a single name to us. A coach who has marked an era in world football. Wherever he has been, he has left identity, character, leadership, and a winning culture based on collective effort.
