With his initial loyalty linked to the 2006 Presidential Elections alongside former President Ramon Calderon, Real Madrid and Director of Football Predrag Mijatovic have mutually agreed to part ways after terminating the last year of his contract with the club in preparation for a “new” incoming President.
Former Mexico head coach Javier Aguirre has left La Liga side Atletico Madrid by mutual consent after admitting that a “losing mentality” had made it’s way into his lockeroom.
UPDATE - Calderon has indeed stepped down.
“Against the recommendations of my board I’ve decided to step down,” said Calderon. “I have committed errors but not irregularities.”
Calderon will be replaced by Vicente Boluda, who takes charge until a new presidential election can be held in the close season.
With Real Madrid being rocked over the December 7th General Assembly rigging, Ramon Calderon is expected to resign his post as President Friday morning.

After walking away from Premiership side Sunderland last week ahead of their trip to Old Trafford against Manchester United, Roy Keane has addressed his future through a statement via the League Managers’ Association.
Former Manchester United and Ireland midfielder Roy Keane has resigned from Sunderland after three days of negotiations following their losing the last 5 out of 6 and slipping into the Relegation zone in the Barclay’s Premiership standings.
Alan Curbishley, who only took over at Upton Park in December 2006 has turned in his resignation as manager of West Ham United.
It’s been believed that Curbishley had been extremely unhappy with the moves being made by the board and some being made against his wishes, most importantly the move of defender Anton Ferdinand to Sunderland and Roy Keane capturing George McCartney as well on the last day of the Summer Transfer Window.
A statement on the club’s official website read: “We can confirm that we have accepted Alan Curbishley’s resignation as we feel it is in the best interests of both parties.”
“The transfers of Anton Ferdinand and George McCartney along with the release of Freddie Ljungberg were right for the club and decisions had to be taken based on our best long-term interests.
“In the past week, agreement could not be reached with Ferdinand on a new contract to replace his original deal that had just two years left to run while McCartney handed in a formal written transfer request after failing to resolve his personal reasons for wanting a move away.”
