Florentino Pérez announced today that Real Madrid has come to an agreement with Internazionale coach José Mourinho, ending the coaching tenure of Manuel Pellegrini at the Santiago Bernabeu. The club president said that compensation had yet to be worked-out with the Italian club.
Florentino Perez Announces Real Madrid Agreement With Jose Mourinho
In a press conference this evening Madrid-time, Pérez announced that the team had finished its Manuel Pellegrini stage, commending the work-ethic of the Chilean coach, while confirming Mourinho as his replacement, pending negotiations with Inter Milan.
In rough translation of what was announced in Marca, today:
Florentino Pérez dio por “finalizada la etapa de Pellegrini en el Real Madrid” y anunció “la contratación de José Mourinho como nuevo entrenador una vez resuelva su situación contractual con el Inter de Milán”.
En una rueda de prensa convocada en el Santiago Bernabéu, el máximo mandatario del conjunto blanco quiso “agradecer la profesionalidad y entrega impecable” del chileno pero destacó que “ha llegado la hora de dar un impulso a nuestro proyecto”.
Pellegrini moved to Real Madrid from Villareal last summer after unprecedented success with the Yellow Submarine. He is replaced by Mourinho, who confirmed on Saturday his intention to leave Italian football.
