Rafael Nadal is on course for a new role at Real Madrid. The club has announced that a proposal to bring the Spanish tennis great onto its board of directors will be put to a vote at the general assembly on 21 November.
Nadal thanks Florentino Pérez The move was put forward by president Florentino Pérez and the current board. Responding to the news, Nadal expressed his gratitude to Pérez and the directors for thinking of him, saying he had accepted the invitation with great enthusiasm. He added that he is approaching the role eager to learn and determined to contribute in every way he can.
From Bernabéu regular to boardroom Winner of 22 Grand Slam titles, Nadal has long been one of Real Madrid's most famous supporters and a familiar face at the Santiago Bernabéu. Having retired from professional tennis in 2024, he could now take on an official position at the club he has followed throughout his life, provided the members give their approval.
If the proposal passes, Pérez will add one of the most recognisable names in world sport to the leadership of Europe's most decorated club. All eyes now turn to the assembly vote later this month.
