Real Madrid gets new president



Madrid, July 3 (DPA) Ramon Calderon has been elected the new president of Spanish football giant Real Madrid.

After a chaotic electoral process marred by a lawsuit brought by some of the candidates, the electoral commission announced in the wee hours of Monday that Calderon won 30 percent of the votes, followed closely by Juan Palacios with 29 percent.

Only about 20,000 Real members out of the 66,000 eligible to vote had bothered to turn out Sunday.

Some 8,000 members had already cast their vote by post. But on Thursday, a Madrid court ruled the postal votes invalid, after a lawsuit brought by Calderon, Palacios and another candidate Arturo Baldasano.

Juan Miguel Villar Mir, another contender, has also threatened to go to the courts, which could delay Calderon's assuming the position.

Calderon, 55, businessman and lawyer, was a member of the Real board of directors under Florentino Perez from 2000 until February of this year, when Perez surprisingly resigned.

Since February, the club has been in absolute chaos, torn apart by a belligerent election campaign with the candidates promising to sign up some of the biggest names in world football.

Pedja Mijatovic, former Real striker, will become the director of football under Calderon, and has been working around the clock to line up some interesting signings.

Calderon has promised to bring in Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas, Brazil playmaker Kaka and Dutch winger Arjen Robben.

He has also promised to bring back Fabio Capello as coach. While cautiously claiming victory Sunday night, Calderon said that Capello would be flying into Madrid Monday to sign his new contract.
