Florentino stops his departure from Real Madrid when he had everything agreed for his farewell.

The president of the white team would like to keep this member of the squad

Antonio Pintus is once again at the center of attention. Despite the team's physical ups and downs this season, Real Madrid wants the Italian fitness coach to stay at the club. This was reported by Mario Cortegana, a journalist from The Athletic,

Pintus will have the final say. He will decide whether to stay with the organization or not. Despite the doubts that may exist due to this past year, the truth is he was an important piece in the three consecutive Champions Leagues.

This season there have been injuries, dips in form, and his relationship with Ancelotti hasn't been the best. But the club doesn't want to do without him. Xabi Alonso, who is already aware of the situation, hasn't objected.

Xabi Alonso will take over on the bench on June 1

Xabi Alonso will be the new coach of Real Madrid. Starting June 1, he will take charge of the team and begin his new phase. His first point of contact will be at the Club World Cup.

Despite this news about Pintus, it's worth highlighting that Xabi will bring his trusted people with him. One of the names accompanying him will be Ismael Camenforte-López. He has worked with him at Bayer Leverkusen as a fitness coach and will also come to the capital.

It remains to be seen if Pintus and Camenforte can be on the same staff. It's not clear what role the Italian would have if Xabi's coaching staff already has that position covered. In any case, the club doesn't want to lose a key man.

It will be known in the coming days

It will be in the coming days when doubts can be solved regarding what Pintus decides to do. Regardless of his decision, the club will always be grateful for his work. The famous "Pintus method" won't be forgotten at the Sports City.

This summer is going to bring a lot of news for Madridists. Indeed, some think it will be the most important of the last decade. A new project is on the horizon, along with a host of changes aimed at improving to reach the titles.
