I think COVID and post COVID deviated the plan away from a strong sporting side (because we already had it) and focused on the financial side which was an absolute must. He did that but it also started to ignore the cracks appearing and the need to invest in certain areas. We just had coaches that were very capable and papered over those cracks. Now we have it glaringly obvious.
Just recently in November: “if I were to consider it, I would have to do so when I’m ready, part of me would like to be in a position where I could consider it” Before then, “Of course I'd like to be Real Madrid president. You never know what'll happen in the future” This is why I’ve said he’ll run but not yet. Now his tennis career is over, I’d imagine he he’s taking the business side more seriously.
This club never had a "project coach" and never will. Flexibility is part of why this club remains competitive through the years. Go back and look at what brought the club success and it never has a long runway.
I agree but those coaches we’ve had in the past are coming to an end. Gotta be thinking differently here, can’t just keep rinsing and repeating the same thing.
Absolutely, he’s 39 and likely won’t see him gearing up until mid 40s at least. We’ll likely see someone in power before Nadal but I’m absolutely certain he’ll be in the seat in the near future. When he decides to run he wins with ease. Hugely respected.
Football has changed and continues to change at a very fast pace. What used to work 8 or 5 years ago will not work now. Either Perez gets with the program or face an unfortunate end to his tenure as president.
I'm not talking about 8 to 5 years, i'm talking 20 to 30. Also, every single project coach has failed, other than the one that is spending 250 mil. every season in Manchester. That's the facts.
Dude, Utd is the absolute worst example you can give for literally anything. Project coaches will undoubtedly fail with the current management system of the club.
Much like every Real Madrid's club's "transition" year is bogus. This is one of the very few clubs where major trophies are expected even when the club is rebuilding and in crisis.
We dont know this. What we do know is that no president will ever have the balls to resist multiple contract demands by arguably the biggest player in our history or going h2h in the bluffing game or telling our icons to pack their bags if they are not happy with the money they are getting. We won't know how good we have it until we lose him.
Think he's talking about City. Pep is given a carte blanc by City and he was given time to shape City how he himself wanted them. He is allowed to buy 2300 wingers and defenders to wipe away tears after a loss.
Florentino rejected Ronaldo's renewal, wasted a season with 3 coaches and blew all that money from Ronaldo sale on Hazard as 2018-19 flop season put pressure to sign a Galactico. Foundation he laid is the financial security of Real Madrid that can overcome mistakes like that to move on quickly without big flops having a terrible financial impact. Don't need a president who steals like Calderon and Sanz. That's the key and pretty sure Nadal will be clean that way. Sporting wise Florentino has made more than his fair share of mistakes.
We are out of CDR now so if Arbeloa doesn't win La Liga or CL, it's two seasons in a row without important trophies. Best way to turn the situation around would be to get a top tier coach who almost guarentees success in a year or two like 2010 Mou despite having to finish ahead of Pep's Barca. Klopp would bring that kind of excitement and expectations, but no one knows whether he'd be interested in coaching anymore or would like a high pressure job like at RM. Other options will put Florentino in the hot seat if we don't win anything this season.
Clubs like Madrid and Bayern hire coaches the bring instant results and have an instant effect on the team. Nagelsmann WON titles and was still sacked. Just as an example. He wasn't even given the chance to win the title that Tuchel eventually won. The only project coaches that have successfully installed their idea to fruition are Arteta (under no pressure to win) and Guardiola who works with zero restrictions financially or otherwise. Coaches like Maresca, Amorim, Postecoglou, we might even go further back and include Bielsa, they just don't work long term. The team gets tired, the results dry up, the coach gets fired. Notice how all of these coaches have their teams running hard and heavy and end up asking for constant reinforcements. It's a recipe that worked for Guardiola and practically nobody else.
You can thank Zidane for that one. He has absolutely made mistakes. His galactico dream was a failure. He improved in his second stint. The team getting picked apart without replacement is unforgivable though and culminated into the shitshow we have seen last season and this one so far. If Arbeloa manages to win trophies this season we are going to go into next season without additions. I am sure of it.
Every club makes bad signings, you just ignore them because you only look at who's on the field for them.
Xabi asked for Huijsen and Carreras. I believe he asked for Franco when club gave the option of bringing Paz back. TAA deal was in the works even before Xabi got approached. He compromised on Zubimendi. Probably would have got him had he played hardball before signing RM contract. Carlo was treated as a yes man by Florentino during both his tenures and club did what they wanted like Di Maria out for James. ZZ got most of what he wanted except for Pogba which was more about personal relationship than a need anyways since club already had KCM and Isco in midfield. If someone with the statute of Klopp asks for certain signings to take on the job, Florentino will most probably listen.
What we also can't forget is how awkard this signing and firing was during the season for both coaches. Really clumsy situation, club couldn't wait to communicate they had shoved Carlo out the door, left Xabi in a weird spot of it being official but not really while both guys were still coaching at their clubs. Made the same mistake they made with Lopetegui, just bold and way too convinced of themselves to question the choice and the timing.
To save anyone else some time -- this is essentially just their article from almost two weeks ago made into an animated video.
Under Perez. , and feasible future, Madrid remains a team of galacticos… nothing has changed, except his refined the process .. it’s about assembling the most marketable players in the world … it’s the reason why he won’t sale vini, his currently the most popular Brazilian player.. he sales and markets Real Madrid in his homeland .. to Perez that’s more than enough to keep him in the squad it’s the same with mbappe, and Jude Bellingham , these two are the recognizable players of their respective countries .. even for the casual fan. and to Perez that’s all that matters . The coaches have to do whatever it takes to adapt to the players . It’s the reason why their treated like princesses lol .. their marketing asserts that generate revenue
