Florentino Perez triggers Real Madrid presidential and board elections

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has triggered the start of the process for the club’s next elections.

Perez is coming to the end of his fourth consecutive term at the helm of the LaLiga giants and sixth overall.

The 77-year-old is expected to stand again unopposed.

A new board of directors will also be elected at the Bernabeu Stadium.

A statement from the reigning Spanish and European champions read: “Following a meeting of the board of directors held today, and in accordance with article 38 paragraph b of the Articles of Association of Real Madrid CF, the club president has asked the electoral board to initiate the procedure for the convening of elections for club president and board of directors.”

Perez first served as president from 2000-06 and began his ongoing second spell in 2009.
