Camacho Was A Unanimous Decision - Perez

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez explained the decision to appoint Jose Antonio Camacho as new coach following the sacking of Carlos Queiroz.

"He will be very important in contracting new players," said Perez, dismissing the notion that Camacho will be a mere puppet.

"He will be working with the directors of the club. We think that Camacho, thanks to him being a former player and a Madrid fan, was a very important recruit."

"He has the authority and the moral authority to carry things out."

"Camacho was a unanimous decision. He's always been in our hearts."

"We think this is the ideal moment."

He also spoke of the current mess the club finds itself in: "What has happened over the last two months is hard to understand. We haven't had the order or the discipline in the club."

"Maybe we were too ambitious. But it's hard to understand how the Real Madrid of the past two months has been so markedly different."

"Real Madrid recently have been unrecognisable. We've seen how disorder and lack of authority has taken over."
