José María Gutiérrez, known as Guti, is one of the most prominent voices among the legends of Real Madrid. His appearances on the El Chiringuito de Jugones program always make headlines, and this time was no different. During his latest intervention, the former Real Madrid footballer was asked about the possibility of returning to the club to lead the Castilla, the Real Madrid reserves, a proposal he firmly rejected.
Guti made it clear that, despite having enjoyed his time in the youth ranks of the club, returning to the Real Madrid reserves does not fit into his current plans as a coach. "I already lived that experience, and it was extraordinary in terms of training," he explained, emphasizing that, for him, the Castilla is a development platform for players, which he considers crucial but no longer represents a challenge in line with his professional objectives.
He will not return to Real Madrid's reserves
The former player, who has expressed on several occasions his interest in continuing to grow as a coach, also reflected on his decision not to continue with Real Madrid's Juvenil A team at one point, a decision that could have altered the course of his career. However, he stated on his participation in El Chiringuito that his current goals are more oriented towards projects with greater competitive challenges than a youth team.
This stance is not surprising, as Guti has always been known for his frankness and for seeking scenarios that promote his personal and professional growth. Although he maintains a strong emotional bond with the club, it seems clear that his immediate future does not involve coaching the Castilla. For Real Madrid, and especially for its fans, the question remains whether one day the paths will align for one of their legends to return to the club in a more prominent role.
