Real Madrid president to offer job to Hierro

Fernando Hierro is set to be offered a high-profile role by Real Madrid.
 
Real president Florentino Perez, on advice from his No2 Emilio Butragueno and captain Raul, is ready to offer an olive branch to Hierro to bring the former skipper back to the club.

Hierro, who retired at the end of last season with Bolton Wanderers, will be offered a player liaison job. Perez wants the Spanish legend to act as a intermediary between the players and the board to assist with morale.

"If Hierro accepts this position, he won't be working in a director's capacity," a source told AS. "Rather we will see the image of Hierro rescued, which is as important to the players as it is the fans."
