Florentino Pérez: 'Signing Mourinho was
one of the best decisions I have made'
Pérez was speaking during the traditional Christmas
Tuesday..
Real Madrid President, Florentino Pérez, has called the hiring of José Mourinho in May,
2010 ‘one of the best decisions I have made’ since he took over at the Santiago
Bernabéu.
"The most important decision in my career as president was to sign Mourinho, because
he never gives up, no matter how hard the challenge is," he said.
"The defeat (against Barcelona) hurt everyone, but it has made us stronger. The
confidence in the dressing room is constantly growing."
"We have set a record of 15 consecutive winning games in all competitions (until the
Barcelona defeat) and have also become the first team in history to win every game in
the group phase of the Champions League. We are doing everything we can to build a
great team at a difficult time economically."
He continued: "This season there has
been an important leap in quality. Last year
we finished second, were semi-finalists in
the Champions League, Cristiano
(Ronaldo) won the Golden Boot and
Pichichi titles, (Iker) Casillas won the
Golden Glove, Mourinho was UEFA's
Coach of the Year and we won the Copa
del Rey with a magnificent goal from
Ronaldo."
"It was a long-awaited trophy for Madrid
fans and in basketball we are in the top
four. The club is getting stronger all the
time."
