Not even close

Chelsea are pretty much guaranteed semi's in CL and a league title next season.

I even have the feeling that Chelsea will eliminate us in CL.

I hope we don't get Rafa or Ancelotti, pls Jupp

Full press conference in English courtesy @Galapago555

"Good evening, before starting thank you all for your assistance, after the meeting of the Board of Directors, just finished, I want to communicate two decisions: 1st, after talks with our coach José Mourinho, we have agreed to terminate his contract at the end of this season. Thanks to him for his work"

Second point is that according to our internal regulations I have start the process to celebrate elections will be held next June 16th. I want to confirm that I will be candidate for this election process"


[Mou dismissal for sporting reasons or others?] "Your question does not fit with reality. No dismissal here, mutual agreement."

[next coach?] "No decision made yet. We have been thinking of it for a time. No pre agreement, no understanding with any coach as yet. This will be our task for the coming days"

"We concluded it was the right moment to break Mourinho's contract and say thanks for the work done"

Mou's achievements? We have taken a big step beyond, today RMA is where it deserves to be. For six years we had been out of the place where we belong. So the balance is positive. One yr ago we were all so pleased with the season. This year we have reached Champions League Semi finals, Copa Final, 2nd in Liga, this could be enough for others but for us this is not enough so we at the Board of Directors consider that Mou's balance is positive.

"We consider this season not to be enough for our level of requirement, both for Mou and for the Club" So about the next coach, it will be a new season, we want a person that helps us to keep on improving. Now we are at the sporting level that we should had never lost"

[Zidane?] "Not the moment to speak, I will talk during the next days in the election process"

[one yr ago you renewed his contract. What happened? is Madridismo separated?] "Madridistas are more united than ever, I can assure you that the team is more united than ever. I have checked it personally.

Three years, Mourinho is the longest serving la liga coach as of now. Three years is a very long time. He gave us his reasons and I share them

" (now a Q from @sidlowe -> is there any compensation?) "NO. Termination by mutual agreement with no compensation"

"I would have liked Mou to stay, but persons have a limit, the level of pressure has increased so much..."

Antón Meana, well know antiMadridista journo, asks his usual shitty question. "We know what RMA is. We are proud about that pressure. But many times, I have to say, it surpassed the limits"
"And about the decisions he made, like benching Iker, he is our coach and the one to decide""We want to be the masters of our destiny. We have a great economical stability. Today it's a sad day for us"

[Mou's comments and attitudes have displeased you?] "Everyone can make mistakes but he gave us such a level of .intensity, we have had loads of bad luck, we have been able to play 3 finals, we lost 3 SFs,the one vs Barça, I don't want to talk about it. We took a huge step beyond but we still lacked something this is Real Madrid, that's the reason for it being awarded the best Club on twentieth century, which means the best in History. Here's the Club under the biggest pressure and he has stayed here for 3 yrs, that's big"

[another Portuguese coach or no more?] "Why not? We don't have any prejudice"

"You @diegotorresro like a lot the novels, as I learn any time I read your articles...""Failure? Can you call this failure? This word doesn't depict the situation. It's simply in our culture, but think that we have just won 9 European Cups and we're back among the top 4 teams in Europe. This Club is used to live under pressure. It's permanent. We're huge.

People try to influence. Sometimes lawful sometimes unfair. Here a match lasts for 48 hours before and 48 hrs after but this pressure made this club big. And then you have another not reasonable one. We all have a family, children, etc"

[Ancellotti?] "Biggest respect to PSG, his president and all the other Clubs, We met PSG few days ago. They told us that he had a valid contract for one more year, so no decision was made

Zidane is a player that is in the heart of all Madridistas, not only for his quality as a player but also for his values, we have not decide yet anything about him [Zizou], but surely he is one of our biggest assets"

And that's all, here finishes #FlorentinoPresser. Thank you all for following.

Mournho doesn't have the se aura he had back in 2004 when he came to PL. the edge that differentiated him back then, has gotten boring. The only reason he is coming back to PL is that English media love his clown behavior and can sell stories by it. They won't criticize him because their IQ is low. Whereas Italian n Spanish journalists call a spade a space and called him out on the total clown/prick/ classless human being that he is.

I wonder who the whipping boys are going to be for Mou at Chelsea. My early candidates are Torres and Oscar. He likes to go after the quiet and shy types to start so he can find his rhythm... once he feels he's mastered it, he'll go after the big boys. Cole and Lampard will come later.

If SAF hadn't retired, United would have replaced Rooney with Bale and already won the next league. Now it's open. Ill miss SAF. He is a real manager , not a play acting boss-wanna be Mourinho.

WTF is this question. The anti-portugese mentality in spain is disgusting

Rafa as in Rafael Benitez???

To the madrid fans

Wherever he has been he has won league titles...

Shockingly I feel we need a change of pace and I would like us to embrace a different direction, ideally VDB but that will never ever happen, so Toril would be my first choice.

For me... Rafa Benitez because he a madridista and knows how to manage a big club. Tired of mercenary managers.

VdB obviously

but of the available ones, Jupp

Once Zidane has some experience, he's my first choice, he's treated like a god in the media and can handle the political game, obviously just needs to become a proper manager before tho

Typical Spanish Journos, I really loave the way Perez, answered back at them and called their bullshit especially the El Pais journalist Diego Torres, told him in his face the stuff he writes are works of fiction, Boss

So the Spanish hatred for the Portuguese is why it took Madrid fans nearly 2 years to fully embrace Ronaldo?

Makes sense now.

It was a journalist from a bola that asked this

Ideally, Laudrup, because he is class personified, former madridista, can command respect from star players in madrid imo, very good tactician, can coach talent etc..

2) Rafa. top man, suspect man management skills but he is a madridista at heart, and i know he will work his socks off for us. brilliant football mind, extremely efficient manager, with our budget he will thrive imo.

i dont want to mention the likes of Klopp now because i feel like we need something close to home.

WAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAAHAH ~!!! @ Mouinho! WAAAAAAAAAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!@@@@ LOOOOOOOOOOOL~!!!

Special no more!

Although Im sure hes still very good tbh and should add something to Chelsea, I mean if he fails with Chelsea then his reputation would really be in shits and the amount of abuse and laughs at him would be so unbelievable!!!

I dont know whats the arrangements though, so does that mean Perez have to pay compensation to him? If so how much?

Halamadrid, I love ur new signature pic!

Laudrup said he will never coach a top club though because he does not like the pressure and limelight that goes with it :<

Bad decision by Mou making it so obvious that he wanted to leave to the point that Madrid had no choice but to sack him. Should have waited another year. See what he could have accomplished.

If he really wanted the chelsea job it would have been available next year or the year after anyway. No reason to rush. He'll never get to coach a team like Madrid again or even chelsea if things don't go well there.

Getting sacked here and ending on a bad note is going to seriously limit his future.
