Real Madrid axe sports chief Pardeza

Miguel Pardeza has been axed as Real Madrid sports director.

Marca says the move comes as part of the club's reshuffle of its management structure and academy system.

Pardeza was informed of the news a few days ago.

The former 'Los Blancos' player was appointed when Florentino Pérez began his second term at the club, to serve as then director general Jorge Valdano's assistant.
