Spaniard businessman Florentino Perez announced on Thursday his candidature to be president of the Spanish soccer club Real Madrid, charge to which he resigned on February 2006.

Perez told the press that he made a wrong decision when leaving the presidency of the Real Madrid.

Perez, 62, and president of the construction company ACS, said that he has a clear idea to place Real Madrid in the place it should be.

Perez regretted the scandals around the pervious directive board, which meant the resignation of in that time president of the club Ramon Calderon.

Perez said that Calderon's administration was a "tragedy and recent history of Real Madrid that can not repeat." "I did not expect that behavior of the previous board."

Perez said that Argentine Jorge Valdano and French Zinedine Zidane will return to the club as men of trust, if he achieves the presidency of the Real Madrid at the internal elections to be held on June 15.
