Real Madrid Ex-keeper incorporated into Frenchman's technical staff

Raul Valbuena is the newest member of Zinedine Zidane's first team coaching staff, as the ex-Fabrica keeper will be in charge of opposition scouting and performance analysis of first division clubs Los Blancos will face throughout the year.

Valbuena, who played for Mallorca, Toledo, Albacete and Zaragoza, coached Sarinena last season, and looks to use his knowledge of the Spanish league and Real's academy to improve the squad's chances this season.

Curiously enough, Lionel Messi's first ever official league goal came against him, back when he was in net for Albacete in 2004/05.
