Tebas considers Casillas as a candidate to become RFEF president LaLiga Would run against Rubiales

LaLiga president Javier Tebas is considering making a proposal to Iker Casillas, which would see the legendary Spanish goalkeeper become one of the candidates for the presidency of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).

The next set of elections will take place in March and Tebas is keen for Casillas to run against current president Luis Rubiales.

This information comes from 'El Partidazo' on COPE.

Casillas is carefully considering his response because, should he accept, it would mean his definitive retirement from football.

Since May 2019, the 38-year-old has been recovering from a heart attack he suffered during a training session with Porto, while he is currently the liaison between the Portuguese side's players the club's board of directors.

Meanwhile, Rubiales' intention is to call presidential elections in the second half of March, just before the Spanish national team's next two friendlies.

Should Casillas decide to stand, the election would be a duel in style between the current president of the RFEF and one of the most charismatic players in the history of Spanish football.

However, if Casillas decides not to stand, Rubiales would be automatically re-elected for the period running from 2020 to 2024.
