Real Madrid will continue to count on key staff member ahead of potential overhaul

The coming summer will see a massive shakedown at Real Madrid, not only in terms of the names in the dressing room but also the manager on the sidelines.

Several key players are expected to leave the club, with reports of some big-money signings also coming to the fore. Further, Alvaro Arbeloa is not expected to continue as the manager of the club for next season.

What will remain the same, however, is the identity of the team’s fitness coach. As relayed by Defensa Central, Antonio Pintus is here to stay for next season, and the foreseeable future.

A lifetime contract

As brought to light by the Spanish outlet, Real Madrid see Pintus to be indispensable to the club irrespective of the extent of changes in personnel come June.

They believe he is one of the best fitness trainers in history and that he is a fundamental pillar to the team’s continual success in Europe.

In fact, Pintus is one of the few individuals with an indefinite contract with the club, and that speaks volumes about the confidence Florentino Perez and Co. have in him.
