Raul Gonzalez has reportedly turned down the offer to succeed Jesse Marsch at Leeds United in favour of continuing at Real Madrid Castilla.
Leeds United parted ways with Jesse Marsch on Monday after a seven-game winless run in the Premier League, which included a dismal defeat to Nottingham Forest last time out.
Raul turns down Leeds approach
According to AS, Leeds approached Raul to take charge at Elland Road following Marsch's exit. However, the Real Madrid Castilla manager is understood to have declined the offer as he thinks the timing is not ideal.

The 45-year-old is settled at his boyhood club and does not want to leave the Spanish capital in the middle of the season.
His Castilla side are currently fighting a promotion battle in the Primera Federacion as they sit in second spot with 42 points from 22 matches.
Madrid officials made it clear they were not in favour of him leaving amidst current circumstances, which further convinced Raul to continue with his present role.
Big picture for Raul
Raul is said to be focused on his current role and the report also mentions that he is very interested in leading the Madrid senior side in the near future.

With Carlo Ancelotti's future being debated after the recent loss to Mallorca, the former Los Blancos skipper prefers to patiently wait in the wings.
He was also approached by several Bundesliga and Spanish teams in the summer but decided to stay put.
