Antonio Pintus extends his contract with Real Madrid

Real Madrid have decided to extend the contracts of two key members of their coaching staff: fitness coach Antonio Pintus and goalkeeper coach Luis Llopis. This news, first reported by MARCA and later confirmed by club sources to Managing Madrid, highlights how crucial these two coaches have become for the team.

Both Pintus and Llopis were on the brink of seeing their contracts expire. However, recognizing their significant contributions, the club chose to keep them on board. Interestingly, neither coach was initially part of Carlo Ancelotti’s staff when he rejoined the club in 2021. Instead, Real Madrid asked Ancelotti to retain them, a decision that has paid off over the past three seasons.

Ancelotti has grown to deeply appreciate their work. Pintus is known for his intense fitness programs that have kept the team in top physical shape, while Llopis has been a steady hand in nurturing the talents of Madrid’s goalkeepers like Keylor Navas and Thibaut Courtois.

This move underscores Real Madrid’s strategy of prioritizing stability and consistency within their coaching ranks, aiming to build on the success they achieved during the 2023-24 season.
