Former Real Madrid's President Ramon Calderon blasts the club for giving too much power to Mourinho
Former Real Madrid's President, Ramon Calderon, has blasted the club for giving too much authority to the club manager, Jose Mourinho.
At Real Madrid everything is handled by the President of the club, from player's transfer to the player’s contracts and even handling of the youth teams. Calderon has blasted the current
president, Florentino Perez, for giving too much power to Mourinho and believes that it will lead to disaster.
The 59-year-old added that the Portuguese tactician’s comments in the aftermath of defeat to Barcelona were really disappointing and it portrayed a negative image of the club. The Spaniard
added that only the fans are paying consequences for it and the club’s reputation has been destroyed under the former Chelsea's manager.
Talking to the reporters Calderon said, "It is not like Real Madrid but the president has granted the power to Mourinho. Mourinho is the owner of the club. Even the CEO cannot get into his
[Mourinho's] office because he keeps it locked. It is impossible for this to end well. It's unthinkable these things [would] happen in my time as president, in which everything was a matter of storm and scandal.”
"Fans are paying the consequences. The club has given them a coach who knew what [the club] was about and now we are paying the consequences.” added the former President.
Perez feels that Mourinho’s post-match reaction to the semi-final defeat against Barcelona was really childish and it is a big shame for the most successful club in the UEFA Champions League
history. Mourinho criticised the officials for favouring Pep Guardiola’s team in their 2-0 win over Los Blancos in the first-leg of the Champions League semi-final.
Barcelona later filed a lawsuit against Madrid for the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan manager’s harsh comments. Both the teams have also complained against each other to UEFA and Calderon feels that
the quarrel is really damaging for Spanish football.
Calderon added that he can understand the pressure of Barcelona-Real Madrid matches, but they have taken place in the past too and everyone has taken it just as a match and not as a battle.
