Florentino Pérez won't stop receiving offers, both from footballers and coaches. The latest hasn't arrived directly, but through a television program. We are talking about Luis Enrique, who, on 3Cat, has put on the table the possibility of becoming the new coach for Real Madrid.
"I don't think there's been anyone in history who's been a Barça and Real Madrid player... plus a Barça and Madrid coach. So I can break a record," said Luis Enrique. He made this clear in a humorous tone, but Florentino Pérez has a clear answer if the offer turns out to be real.
The president of Real Madrid doesn't see it that way. Neither because of his past as a culer, nor because of his career as a coach. After so many years in the dugout, he's only succeeded at Barça, while he hasn't done so well at the rest of the teams. Florentino Pérez is clear about who will be the next coach of the club and in no case will it be Luis Enrique.
It's Not Luis Enrique: It's Florentino Pérez Who Chooses the Next Real Madrid Coach
Florentino Pérez has decided to make a change in the Real Madrid dugout next season. It is the ideal moment, despite the fact that Ancelotti has a contract until 2026. The president's intention is to close the transfer of Xabi Alonso as soon as possible, with whom he's already formally started negotiations.
Xabi Alonso's arrival at Real Madrid is heating up and Florentino Pérez's intention is to sign him in 2025. There will be a change in the Santiago Bernabéu dugout, with the Basque being the chosen one. There is a special clause in his contract to carry out this move.
Florentino Pérez's reply to Luis Enrique's words has been clear: no way. Madrid is not interested in the current PSG coach and their plans are elsewhere. He is ruled out for the immediate future and also for the future in general. He isn't part of the plans and will never fulfill his dream of coaching the club he loves.
So, case closed: Florentino rejects Luis Enrique; he will never coach Real Madrid.
