Dismissals to Hierro and del Bosque:

Hierro argued strongly with the president of Real Madrid after the championship. The club let a journalist pass into the locker room and the captain was so angry that the players only went around the field once. Later they threatened not to attend institutional celebrations.

This is how relations were broken and Florentino did not shake his hand to throw out Hierro, who won 18 titles in 14 seasons with the club, despite the fact that there was a verbal agreement for the renewal. A del Bosque was not renewed either under the excuse that his methods were outdated. After that, many branded Pérez a “traitor.”

Lopetegui hiring:

Zinedine Zidane’s successes at Real Madrid are indisputable; However, in 2018 he left the club surprisingly. So, Florentino Pérez looked for an ideal replacement for the French coach and found him in Julen Lopetegui, who was then the coach of Spain.

The rest is history. Julen lasted only three months at Real Madrid, after Florentino fired him harshly for the poor results recorded in 14 games (6 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses).

The marches of important players:

With Florentino Pérez at the helm, many players have left Real Madrid without pain or glory. The most emblematic case is that of Iker Casillas, the best goalkeeper in the club’s history, who said goodbye at a press conference from the Santiago Bernabéu without a tribute in between.

Controversial audios:

. The president of Real Madrid referred to Raúl and Iker Casillas, two legends of the club, with strong insults that outraged the madridistas.

Casillas is not a goalkeeper for Real Madrid. It is not. It never has been. It has been the great failure that we have had. What happens is that you have the children of … who adore him, love him, talk to him, defend him so much … and well, it is one of the great scams and the second is Raúl. The two great scams of Real Madrid are first Raúl and second Casillas “, expressed in an audio.

As if that were not enough, Florentino also appears in other audios of the Spanish medium, in which he insults none other than Cristiano Ronaldo. The words of the president of the merengue club went around the world.

“He’s crazy. This guy is an idiot, a sick man. You think this guy is normal, but he’s not normal, otherwise, he wouldn’t do all the things he does. The last nonsense he did, there on TV.

In fact, the development of the contest is something that is still being evaluated.

Dismissal of Zidane:

The second stage of Zinedine Zidane in charge of the first team of Real Madrid was not as good as the first. The criticism overwhelmed him on many occasions. But the three Champions in a row supported him. Even so, at the end of May 2021, the history of the French coach with the Spanish club came to an end.

The complicated and strange relationship that ‘Zizou’ had with Florentino Pérez was one of the factors that determined his departure. In fact, the French coach expressed the reasons for leaving the club in a letter published by AS.

“I would have liked my relationship with the club and with the president in recent months to have been a little different from that of other coaches. He wasn’t asking for privileges, of course not, but a little more memory. Today the life of a coach on the bench of a great club is two seasons, not much more “, he pointed.
