Florentino Perez’s position as president of Real Madrid has come under pressure as the club’s current crisis raises questions about whether he will remain in charge beyond the next election.

With the presidential vote due in two months, Perez has shown what have been described as unusual weaknesses for a leader who has dominated the club for so long. Some of his recent decisions have also been viewed as questionable, including the appointment of Jose Mourinho as manager.

That choice was regarded by many as another sign of uncertainty within the Bernabeu leadership. Perez’s critics are now watching the situation with increasing satisfaction as the problems facing Real Madrid continue.

According to derbyderbyderby.it, the crisis could lead Perez to consider stepping down before the end of his current term. His age may also be a factor, with Perez now 79.

Perez has been in charge of Real Madrid continuously since 2000, apart from the period between 2006 and 2009.
