Vicente del Bosque is set to be the big winner from Fernando Martin's elevation to the Real Madrid presidency.

The pair are good friends and Martin wants Del Bosque to become heavily involved in the football setup at the club - with Benito Floro's sports director's job a likelihood.

Del Bosque could also be offered total control of the junior development program at Real, which would mean Ramon Martinez departing at the end of the season.

Either way, Martin is adamant that Del Bosque will return to the club in a high-level capacity.

He shouldn't have left the team 3 years ago. We want him back as the coach.

you are correct there Raul, we always say Makelele's departure was what sent Real into a tailspin, but it really all started when Vicente was cut loose....I believe he would be a welcomed back as well as being what Real needs to get back to where they once were....oh yeah, and maybe they can get Makelele back as well.......
