Wednesday was marked by a strong acceleration of the electoral campaign at Real Madrid. While Enrique Riquelme was preparing the announcement of a "mega" reinforcement, Florentino Pérez stole the spotlight by publishing, on the official page of his candidacy on Network X, an image of José Mourinho accompanied by the confirmation: the Portuguese coach will take command of the Merengues if he is elected president.
The announcement did not come through the club's official channels, but rather through the communication of Pérez's candidacy. For weeks now, the existence of an agreement between Real Madrid and Mourinho has been considered very likely; This is, however, the first public confirmation in this regard.
The presidential elections take place later this week and the results should be known shortly after, clarifying the winner in a short space of time. Once the leadership is defined, the door will open for official communications — and Mourinho's could be the first, as long as Pérez confirms his favoritism at the polls.
According to the same information, Mourinho has already had an influence on Real Madrid's market decisions behind the scenes and actively participates in planning for the next season.
