Iker Casillas has publicly congratulated Florentino Pérez following his decisive victory in the Real Madrid presidential election. The legendary former club captain and goalkeeper took to social media to back the incumbent president as he prepares to lead the club through to June 2030.
Writing on his official X account on Monday, Casillas stated: “Congratulations to Florentino Pérez on his re-election as President of Real Madrid. Work in the present and in the best way possible to return to the path of success. As always: HALA MADRID!” The post has generated widespread engagement across social platforms, mirroring the sentiment of the club’s administrative voting base.
Pérez secured a definitive mandate over challenger Enrique Riquelme, claiming 65 percent of the total votes cast by the club’s socios. The victory officially closes Real Madrid’s first actively contested presidential campaign in two decades, which had intensified following two consecutive seasons without a major domestic or continental trophy for the first team.
With the institutional mandate resolved, Pérez is moving quickly to finalize the sporting structure for the upcoming campaign. The re-elected president is scheduled to officially present Jose Mourinho as the club’s incoming head coach later this week, alongside completing the registration paperwork for summer transfer arrivals Ibrahima Konaté and Denzel Dumfries.
