Former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has hit out at current patron Florentino Perez as he believes that super agent Jorge Mendes and head coach Jose Mourinho are actually the ones who are calling the shots at the club. Calderon was the president at Madrid from 2006 until 2009 before Perez took the reins for the second time in his career and the former boss is far from happy with the way things are going at the Bernabeu."I think the club have an owner going by the name of Jorge Mendes, who is the representative of six or seven players at Real Madrid. The coach [Mourinho] is actually the president of the club," Calderon was quoted as saying by EFE."Right now, Florentino Perez is nothing more than a puppet and that's absolutely incomprehensible. I'm surprised to see him acting like a puppet for these two guys and I really don't understand it." Since Mourinho's arrival in the summer of 2010, players such as Fabio Coentrao, Ricardo Carvalho and Angel di Maria, who are all represented by Mendes, have moved to the Spanish capital, while Pepe and Cristiano Ronaldo also have the Portuguese as their agent.
