The Daily Mail reported in February that Raul had turned down the chance to take over Leeds United because he was holding out to replace Carlo Ancelotti at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Raul has made a strong early impression as the head coach of Real Madrid Castilla, and Orta has revealed that he is an admirer of the Spaniard.
"Mainly from my admiration as a player and I have a real relationship from his work as a coach," he said in an interview with Relevo.
"I have followed him a lot and I have seen how he has been able to make the Youth League champion team, which is something that did not happen at Real Madrid.

"Now he has a second coach on his staff whom I have known for a long time. I see a real evolution as a coach and I am very curious."
