Real Madrid President Florentino Pérez has announced a surprise press conference at Real Madrid City for today, Tuesday, May 12, 2026, at 6:00 p.m., following an emergency meeting with the club’s Board of Directors.
The announcement comes amidst a season described by Pérez as a “true disappointment.” Real Madrid’s trophy drought has now extended into a second year, a situation the president recently labeled as “intolerable” during a tense dressing room visit in Munich.
Crisis at the Bernabéu
The emergency session follows a disastrous week for the club, including:
-
El Clásico Defeat: A loss to Barcelona over the weekend officially handed the La Liga title to their rivals.
-
Disciplinary Scandal: An internal training ground altercation between Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni resulted in hospitalizations and heavy fines of €500,000 for both players.
-
Managerial Uncertainty: Current manager Alvaro Arbeloa is widely expected to be replaced following the club’s earlier exit from the Champions League.
Future of the Project
Speculation is mounting that Pérez may use the press conference to announce significant structural changes. Rumors of a return for Jose Mourinho have gained traction, while the future of star striker Kylian Mbappé also remains a major point of contention among the fanbase.
The president is expected to address the media directly to clarify the club’s path forward as they look to restore order to what has become one of the most unstable periods in the team’s recent history.
