Real Madrid's new chief claims Capello will join
MADRID (AFP) - Real Madrid's new president Ramon Calderon insisted he will kick off his four-year mandate with Juventus coach Fabio Capello at the helm in Madrid.
The 55-year-old lawyer and his deputy, former Yugoslav international and Real striker Pedrag Mijatovic, assumed control of the club late Monday after Real's electoral officials confirmed his narrow victory in Sunday's ballot.
Calderon's claim was first made by Italian press agency ANSA but backed up by the new president of the nine-times European champions.
"Capello has returned to Turin to sort out his contractual situation there with Juventus," Calderon told a press conference.
"He will be here tomorrow (Tuesday) or the day after to start working and developing the team. I hope to be able to present him in a few days."
The new president had earlier made his first speech since taking over at the Bernabeu.
"For any member of Real Madrid, occupying the presidency is a dream come true, a hope fulfilled and a huge responsibility," he said.
But Calderon, who had also garnished his campaign with promises he could lure Brazil's World Cup leading light Kaka and Arsenal's Spanish midfielder Francesc Fabregas to Madrid, said the Brazilian wanted to transfer although his club AC Milan were driving a hard bargain.
The 18th president in the club's 104-year history, Calderon clinched the job with 8,344 votes, just 246 more than the runner-up, businessman Juan Palacios.
Just 43 percent of the club's 66,355 members, including ex-prime minister Jose Maria Aznar, voted in person at the club's headquarters on Sunday.
Despite another candidate, Juan Migual Villar Mir challenging the result over a judge's ruling that excluded earlier postal votes, Real's electoral commission decided Calderon had won fair and square.
A club member since 1979, Calderon served four years as a director with former general manager Florentino Perez, whose "galacticos" policy of investing heavily in big stars failed spectacularly to produce the goods in recent years.
Even though Calderon was Perez's secretary-general during the latter's failed 1991 tilt at the presidency, it was Villar Mir and not Calderon who was Perez's pick to take over on Sunday.
"He (Calderon) became from that moment (1991) one of the most active and most recognised members thanks to his involvement during one of Real Madrid's most difficult periods in its recent history," the club said.
