Senna Signs
Racing have confirmed the signing of former
Spain Euro 2008 Champion,
Marcos Senna.
Marcos Senna will also be part of the staff at
Racing, after negotiations took place earlier this week. He will also be taking part of
Raul's playing staff, and will be 'instrumental' according to the manager.
Marcos Senna will take over the vacant spot of
U19's Manager role at
Racing, whilst he will participate as a player. The former
Villareal star left the
'Yellow Submarine' in 2013, in a bid to promote
New York Cosmos's uprise to the
MLS. After a year and a half, he was released, where his friend and current boss,
Raul, pounced at the opportunity to sign him. However, he will join in what it is labelled as
Raul's Revolution at
Racing, which seems destined to reach the BBVA after finishing up top, with the first half of the 2014-2015 season ending.
Following his appointment and on
Racing's pitch,
El Sardinero,
Marcos Senna said,"I'm pleased that I'll get the opportunity at
Racing to play and manage at the same time.
Raul and I go way back, and he said that he was ready to give me a chance, both in the pitch and off it, so, if everything goes well during my stay, who knows where I'll end?" Senna was later seen training especially with team-mate and player
Jacobo Prat, seen as the next new star at
Racing.
