The Florentino Pérez office witnessed Real Madrid win a Champions League, an Intercontinental Cup, two Spanish Super Cups, two Leagues, and one European Super Cup. The team performed well and boasted some of the best players in the world.

Pérez’s tenure began on 16 July 2000 after he defeated Lorenzo Sanz in the Club’s election to the Presidency. Real Madrid won the League title and a Spanish Super Cup during his first year in office.

The following year saw the team win the Champions League, the Intercontinental Cup, and the European Super Cup. During the 2002/03 season, the team engaged in an all-out war with Real Sociedad for the League title. In the summer of 2003 Real Madrid won the Spanish Super Cup against Mallorca.

The Club’s financial situation was excellent under Florentino Pérez. He redesigned the Club’s strategy, managing it as a business and allowing it to compete with the European elite. Pérez built his strategy around world-renown players such as Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo and David Beckham.

The spectacular 127 million euro expansion of the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium and the inauguration of Real Madrid City (at 1,200,000 m2, the largest sports facilities owned by any football club in the world), including the construction of the Alfredo di Stéfano Stadium, are the best examples of Florentino’s efforts to make Real Madrid the Club with the most modern facilities and infrastructures in the world.

Pérez resigned on 27 February 2006.
