Real Madrid Set to Unveil Legendary Former Striker as Assistant General Manager

Real Madrid will unveil former Spain striker Raul Gonzales as their new Assistant General Manager early next month, per Spanish source ​AS. Raul, who spent 16 years at the Santiago Bernabeu, will be handed the role on July 3, and will report to Florentino Perez's right-hand man Jose Angel Sanchez.
     Sanchez has a hand in a lot of the club's dealings, including transfer negotiations, player contracts, economic strategy and international brand development.  Raul is said to have gained a lot of business experience living in New York over the past few years, and that - coupled with his status in the football world - makes him the right man for the job, according to Sanchez.
     The 39-year-old retired from playing in 2015, ending his career with the New York Cosmos. He has since worked as an ambassador for La Liga, and also studied sports business in the U.S.
      It was initially thought that Raul would take over the youth system at Valdebas following Víctor Fernandez's departure, but it now looks like Ramon Martinez and Juni Calafat will be the ones to oversee youth development at the club. He will, however, act as a go-between for the squad and club's directors.
     The ex-forward made 550 appearances for Madrid, helping them win six league titles and three Champions League trophies.

LEAKED: Chelsea Kits for 2017/18 Show Slick Design Following Their Move From Adidas to Nike

​Chelsea's kits for the 2017/18 season appear to have been ​leaked ​online​ by the Mirror, showing their sleek designs after switching from Adidas to Nike.  Nike signed a contract with the Londoners midways through last season in 15-year deal worth £60m per season, ending their partnership with Adidas. 
And fans won't be disappointed with their new design, as Nike have gone for a "less is more" effect, creating three beautifully looking kits. 
The home kit is a deep shade of blue with slightly lighter sleeves, changing from their v-neck last season to a crew neck.  The away kit is mainly white with blue panels down the side, but the third kit is the knockout punch. A black coloured shirt with a faint camoflauge print, matched up with a light blue trim on the sleeves.

Costa not in Conte's plan for next season

​"I'm a Chelsea player, but they do not want me there. Conte has sent me a message that I will not continue at Chelsea and that's it. Conte said he will not count on me for next season." These were the words uttered by Diego Costa to the media this week as his whirlwind Chelsea career draws to a close after just three seasons at Stamford Bridge. In the days that have followed, AS in Spain have learned the exact content of the message in question and have shared for the world to see just how Antonio Conte went about telling his title winning top goalscorer that his services were no longer required. "Hi Diego, I hope you are well. Thanks for the seasono [sic] we spent together. Good luck for the next year but you are not in my plan," the breezy but rather blunt text read. It is said that Costa's response was nothing more than just 'OK'. While Conte retains the support from Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich - the Russian billionaire is said to have ended the direct lines of communication to him previously enjoyed by the likes of John Terry and Didier Drogba, ​preventing Costa from going over the manager's head in a bid to stay - the Italian's off-book message hasn't pleased the club hierarchy. With Costa's decision to go public, Chelsea's selling position has been significantly weakened. It is now actively known that they are keen to get him of the player, which harms their ability to command a good price, while Costa has proof that the club has instigated his now inevitable exit and could therefore be entitled to a departing loyalty bonus.
