Real Madrid could part ways with Florentino Perez’s right-hand man at the end of the season | OneFootball

Real Madrid could be on the verge of a significant internal transformation, with one of the most influential figures potentially preparing to step away. 

According to recent reports from Inaki Angulo, Jose Angel Sanchez could be entering his final months at the club, marking the possible end of a long and highly impactful chapter.

Within Real Madrid, there is already talk of a wider structural reset ahead of the summer. 

While much of the focus tends to fall on players and managers, the reality is that changes at the executive level often shape the direction of a club far more profoundly. 

In this case, Real Madrid appear ready to rethink parts of their internal hierarchy.

A long-serving servant

Sanchez has been at the heart of the club’s operations for over two decades. 

Since joining Real Madrid in 2000, alongside Florentino Perez, he has played a central role in building the modern identity of the club. 

From overseeing sporting decisions to managing key negotiations, his influence has been constant, often operating quietly, but always decisively.

Together with Perez, Sanchez helped redefine how top-level football clubs operate financially. 

Their approach was to invest in world-class talent, grow the global brand, and let success on the pitch drive commercial expansion. 

It is a model that has defined Real Madrid’s dominance in the modern era.

However, the upcoming summer now looks set to bring change on multiple fronts.

Sanchez is not the only name under discussion, as Juni Calafat, widely credited with identifying talents like Vinícius Jr. and Rodrygo early in their careers, could also be affected by the restructuring. 

If both figures were to step away or see their roles altered, it would represent a major shift in how Real Madrid operate.

For now, though, nothing has been officially confirmed, but the direction of travel seems clear. 

After years of continuity, the club appear ready to enter a new phase, one that could redefine both their sporting and organisational structure.
