Florentino Perez has secured another four-year term as president of Real Madrid following the club elections held recently. He won against challenger Enrique Riquelme, who congratulated him but hinted at a future candidacy. Perez expressed his commitment to enhancing the club's success, stating, "We are going to keep working so that Real Madrid keeps winning more titles." His re-election sets the stage for the return of Portuguese coach José Mourinho, who previously led the team from 2010 to 2013. Additionally, Perez aims to bolster the squad with new signings, including Liverpool's Ibrahima Konaté and Inter Milan's Denzel Dumfries, alongside a significant acquisition worth more than €150 million ($173 million). Despite his successes, Perez has faced challenges, including a lack of recent titles and criticism over his Super League proposal and potential sale of club shares. The election was held at Madrid's basketball pavilion due to events at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, with 98,000 members eligible to vote.
