Absent from the field since May following a training infarction, Iker Casillas is not done with football. While he joined the management of FC Porto during his convalescence, the former goalkeeper of La Roja and Real Madrid confirmed the Higher Sports Council (CSD) of his desire to be a candidate for the presidency of the Spanish Football Federation, according to radio Cadena Ser . He should therefore face the current president, candidate for re-election Luis Rubiales.

Also according to the Cadena Ser , the SER chain also announced that Iker Casillas would have met and telephoned all the players of the Spanish national team with whom he won the World Cup in South Africa in 2010.
A few weeks ago, Mariano Rajoy, the former Spanish prime minister, remained enigmatic about his possible candidacy for the Federation, after rumors indicating his interest in the position. The election is expected to be held in 2020, but no date has yet been set.
