Luis de la Fuente Rules Out Real Madrid Job if Riquelme Wins

Luis de la Fuente stated he will not become Real Madrid coach if Enrique Riquelme wins the club presidency on Sunday the 7th. He made the comment during an interview on SER's 'El Larguero' with Manu Carreño. The interview aired last night. De la Fuente clarified that the scenario is hypothetical and not a personal ambition. He emphasized that his role remains with the national team. The interview also featured a light‑hearted tone, with de la Fuente treating the suggestion as a joke. He dismissed any speculation about a potential appointment. Enrique Riquelme, a businessman from Alicante, is a candidate in the upcoming Real Madrid presidential election. The vote is scheduled for Sunday the 7th. The result will confirm whether Enrique Riquelme becomes president. If he becomes president, de la Fuente's statement stands as a conditional denial.
