Casillas: No regrets over Real Madrid exit

The goalkeeper left the Bernabeu in the summer after 25 years at the club but maintains it was the right decision

Iker Casillas insists he has no regrets over the manner of his Real Madrid exit and says he will "never speak ill" of the club or its current president, Florentino Perez.

Casillas came through the youth ranks at the Santiago Bernabeu and spent a total of 25 years with Los Blancos before joining Porto this summer.

However, the Spain international left under a cloud after announcing his departure at a press conference without a single Madrid official in attendance.

The club were immediately criticised for a perceived lack of respect for one of their longest servants and Perez promptly summoned the media to the Bernabeu for another press conference the following day in order to give Casillas an official send-off.

It has been claimed the goalkeeper was forced out because of a turbulent couple of seasons in which he was dropped by former Madrid boss Jose Mourinho for allegedly leaking stories to the press. . This posts are taken from the original authorized page. Authorized by the original author.
