[Dark]

Florentino Pérez will continue as president of Real Madrid for a new term, the sixth, until 2025. In his second stage, starting in 2009, the manager has always been reelected unopposed. To be an official candidate for this position, you must have been a member for at least 20 years and endorse 15 percent of the club's budget.

The president was the only candidate who appeared in the new electoral process. So, he has been proclaimed as the head of the ‘White House’ once the term established by the Electoral Board, meeting on the night of Monday, April 12, has expired.

The mandates of Florentino Pérez in Real Madrid

On April 3, coinciding with the match against Eibar, Florentino Pérez completed a thousand games as president, a position he has held in two different stages (2000-2006 and 2009 until now) in which he has added 26 titles: five Leagues Champions, five Leagues, five Club World Cups, five Spanish Super Cups, four European Super Cups and two King's Cups.

Florentino Pérez came to office in 2000, in his second contest for the elections, beating Ramón Mendoza. In 2004 he was re-elected and remained in office until his resignation in 2006. This first stage is remembered for his galactic signings -Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo and David Beckham- and for two Leagues and a Cup of Europe, as more important titles.

Three years after his resignation after the poor results achieved, the Madrid businessman ran for election again and was proclaimed unopposed president. He returned to make flashy additions with Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Kaká and Xabi Alonso to fight against the hegemony of Barcelona trained by Pep Guardiola.

His time in office since then has recorded the best Champions League streak in history with Zinedine Zidane on the bench and his three consecutive titles; the first, two years after achieving the long-awaited "Tenth." In addition to three league championships, the last one, the 33rd, last season.
