Bayer Leverkusen's board is now exploring options for a new coach, and Raul's name is being discussed as a potential candidate. He has experience playing in the Bundesliga and has been linked to a return to his former club, Schalke.

Raul is currently a free agent after leaving his position as coach at Real Madrid's Castilla team at the end of last season. The board is weighing up the possibility of making an offer to Raul, but he is not the only candidate being considered.

Other names being discussed for the position include Edin Terzic and Marco Rose.
