Everything changes for Florentino after what happened: Madrid needs an urgent signing

Real Madrid is undergoing a deep transformation, and the departure of an internal pillar requires immediate decisions to be made

Real Madrid is going through a period of transformation that extends far beyond the Bernabéu field. Recent decisions affect all areas. Florentino Pérez is aware that every step must be taken with great precision.

The change on the bench was one of the first moves of this new era. Carlo Ancelotti said goodbye after a brilliant period in the offices and the locker room. His successor, Xabi Alonso, has arrived with fresh ideas and a lot of personality.

Legends leave and new faces start to take charge

The departure of historic figures like Luka Modric or Lucas Vázquez also marks a turning point. These are absences that weigh both on and off the field. Their experience and authority left a mark.

At the same time, Madrid has added new pieces with potential. Young talents, ready to take on more responsibilities. The present is already here, demanding quick responses from management.

Florentino didn't expect his departure from the offices

Not everything revolves around the first team. Quietly, another key figure has decided to step aside. A essential piece in the white organization chart has announced that he is leaving.

This is Santiago Solari, who until now served as football director. All important decisions at Real Madrid went through his analysis and supervision. His departure leaves a gap that's hard to fill.

Santiago Solari seeks to return to the bench after his executive period

Solari has announced his intention to return to the benches. He believes he has closed a chapter as an executive at just the right time. His relationship with Florentino Pérez is excellent, but he wants to coach again.

In 2018, he already had a brief experience as coach of the first Madrid team. Although it was short, the experience brought valuable lessons. Now, he is looking for another opportunity to lead from the field.

Florentino thanks him for his work and takes on a new immediate challenge

The president hasn't put up obstacles to his decision. He has thanked him for his professionalism and the role he has played all these years. He knows Solari has been a figure of trust and commitment.

With this departure, a new stage of searching in the board begins. Finding a capable replacement will be one of Florentino's priorities. There is no room for mistakes in such a delicate position.

Real Madrid needs a new sporting director as soon as possible

Day-to-day decisions no longer have the usual channel. That space needs to be filled urgently to keep internal order. Florentino doesn't want improvisation in such a demanding season.

With Xabi Alonso taking the reins of the first team, support from above is more necessary than ever. Real Madrid's machinery can't stop. That means acting quickly.
