Real Madrid have decided to part company with current director of football Miguel Pardeza. The move comes as part of the club's reshuffle of its management structure and academy system. Pardeza was informed of the news a few days ago.

The former 'Los Blancos' player was appointed when Florentino Pérez began his second term at the club, to serve as then director general Jorge Valdano's assistant. Though the Argentinian legend subsequently got the axe, Pardeza kept his job and enjoyed a good relationship with José Mourinho, who had clashed with Valdano.
