Florentino Perez Declares Himself Most Successful President in Football History
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has boldly asserted that he is the most successful president in football history, urging critics not to forget his unmatched record at the helm of the Spanish giants.
Speaking at a recent club presser, Perez emphasized his achievements and dismissed doubts about his leadership, stating, “I’m the president with most titles in football history, don’t forget. Fans and socios are with me”. The comments come amid ongoing debates about the club’s direction and recent performance.
Perez, who has served as Real Madrid president across two separate tenures since 2000, has overseen an unprecedented era of success for the club. Under his leadership, Real Madrid has won 37 titles, surpassing the legendary Santiago Bernabeu, who previously held the record with 32 titles.
The club has claimed seven Champions League trophies during Perez’s presidency, including five between 2014 and 2022, as well as seven La Liga titles, five FIFA Club World Cups, and multiple domestic and European Super Cups. His tenure has also seen Real Madrid become the most valuable sports club in the world according to Forbes.
Perez was re-elected as club president in January 2025 and will serve until 2029. Despite criticism from some quarters, he maintains strong support from the club’s members and fanbase, who have backed him through multiple successful cycles.
The 77-year-old’s remarks underscore his confidence in his legacy as one of football’s most influential administrators.
