Nadal to join Real Madrid board, could become president

–

Neutral summary

Rafael Nadal is set to become a member of Real Madrid’s board of directors, according to Spanish and Balkan media. The former tennis player is expected to shadow club president Florentino Pérez to learn the inner workings of the organization and prepare for a possible future bid for the top job. El País describes Nadal as a “student” of Pérez, who is grooming him as a successor. Mondo notes that whether Nadal will actually become president of Real Madrid remains an open question, but his inclusion on the board has reignited debate about his future at the club. Nadal, a Mallorca native and lifelong Real Madrid fan, already has management experience: he owns a tennis academy and invests in sports projects. Semana emphasizes that Nadal’s move from sports to business is no accident, as he has long been developing entrepreneurial ventures. Sources agree that his formal appointment to the board is expected soon, though no exact date has been given.
