A recognition of Florentino Pérez's career
In a recent interview on Es la Mañana de Federico, the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, shared her admiration for the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez. Ayuso did not hold back in her praise for Pérez, stating that he is “the best president the club has ever had” and highlighting his role as one of the most influential businessmen in the country.
The Madrid leader emphasized the importance of Florentino Pérez's contributions to the iconic Santiago Bernabéu stadium as well as to the team's roster. “We all owe him a lot,” Ayuso stated, stressing how the decisions and projects driven by Pérez have elevated the club's prestige on an international level.
At 79 years old, Florentino Pérez has led Real Madrid in two distinct periods, achieving not only sporting successes but also a significant impact on the club's global brand. According to Ayuso, his management has allowed “us to export our brand all over the world and attract citizens from all corners.” This recognition highlights how football transcends the sporting realm to become a cultural and economic phenomenon.
During the conversation, the topic of elections within the club was also addressed. Following the announcement made by Florentino Pérez regarding the electoral call, Ayuso made it clear that “no institution interferes in the electoral processes of another.” She clarified that she does not expect direct support or intervention from the president of Real Madrid in her own political campaign.
As the electoral process in Real Madrid approaches, names are already beginning to emerge among the possible successors to Florentino Pérez. One of them is Enrique Riquelme, a businessman from Alicante who is considering running for the leadership of the club. The Madrid community will be attentive to these movements as it prepares for a new stage.
