Fernando Hierro and Raul
If Real do decide to go down the ‘former player’ route, then a partnership of Fernando Hierro and Raul may well be a tempting option for Perez.
The latter, in particular, has made no secret of his desire to coach Real one day and is already undertaking coaching duties at Cosmos New York as he attempts to learn the ropes.
While the star striker may well struggle to resist the president’s advances, would it be too soon for the player to take such a major job?
Hierro, who is currently part of the club’s coaching staff, won three Champions League crowns and five La Liga championships with the club.
