A report by The Athletic revealed that sitting on the Real Madrid bench is not just a coaching job — it is a daily test under relentless pressure. The manager operates in an environment that does not recognize long rebuilding phases, where winning is demanded immediately and without excuses.
President Florentino Pérez is known for not granting unlimited time to long-term projects, and he does not tolerate justifications such as injuries or bad luck. Every season is measured by the number of trophies won, and any setback instantly opens the door to scrutiny.
The club is owned by nearly 80,000 members who constantly demand titles, amplifying the weight of fan expectations. Meanwhile, the media surrounding the Santiago Bernabéu shows no mercy after any slip.
In Madrid, victory is an obligation — and continuity depends only on silverware.
