(5 days ago)At Real Madrid, presidential elections were held, in which Florentino Peres won convincingly and will remain in that position for another four years.
His opponent, Enrique Riquelme, promised to bring Erling Haaland, but most Real members certainly did not believe it.
Perez received two-thirds of the vote and is now expected to fulfil his promise to bring 150m euros in reinforcements.
The world's top"Players will always play with me, and so it will be the upcoming times", he said last Monday during the presidential campaign.
He has already fulfilled his first promise. Immediately after the victory proclamation, during his victory speech he confirmed that Jose Mourinho was Real Madrid's new coach.
“I am proud to announce the return of one of the world's best trainers, Jose Mourinhos”, Perez said.
The elections themselves took place amid controversy. The vote count began just an hour and a half after the closure of polling stations, and the reason is that 400 votes for Perez were cancelled due to dual signatures.
In the end, those votes were not counted, and the Richel headquarters claims at least a thousand votes for Perez should have been cancelled.
According to official figures, there was a record turnout of Real members, with Perez winning 65 per cent of the vote, or 21,741 votes. Riquelme received 35 per cent of the vote, or 11,814 votes.
This will be Perez' eighth term at the helm of the Madrillan club, writes Telegrafi, broadcasts Periscope.
