Perez is famously known for his ‘Galacticos’ approach in the transfer market. Some of the biggest names in the planet were signed by Madrid under his reign.
In his first stint, he acquired mouth-watering deals for Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, David Beckham and Fabio Cannavaro.
The same happened again in the summer of 2009, with Real signing Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Karim Benzema and Xabi Alonso.
Under his reign, Madrid notably won their 10th Champions League crown in 2014. In total, they have won five Champions League titles and five La Liga crowns under Perez.
