While yesterday Florentino Pérez announced that José Mourinho would take over the Real Madrid bench if he were re-elected as president of the Spanish club, his rival Enrique Riquelme has something else in mind.

For the Spanish businessman, the Portuguese coach's profile does not fit his vision for the club.

"If I win the election, I will bring a superstar manager to Real Madrid. The biggest manager you can imagine. José Mourinho is not our manager. He’s a good coach, but his style is completely different from ours. He doesn’t fit our project. We will get the one that all Real Madrid fans truly want," the businessman explained on the show El Hormiguero.

He did not reveal any further clues.
