There could be a few tense conversations around the Nadal family dinner table this Christmas.
That’s after Toni Nadal was named as part of Victor Font’s candidacy to become the new president of Barcelona, bitter rivals of Real Madrid, the club his nephew and former student Rafael Nadal supports.
TONI COACHED RAFA TO THE MAJORITY OF HIS GRAND SLAMS
According to CNN, not only is Rafael Nadal a huge Real Madrid fan, he is also a honorary club member and is regularly seen watching matches in the VIP area of the Santiago Bernabeu.
Font announced on Friday that Toni would form part of the ‘Sí al futur’ – Yes to the Future – campaign to take over the presidency vacated by Josep Bartomeu following his resignation in October.
Toni, who coached Rafael to the majority of his 20 grand slam titles, is also the brother of ex-Barcelona and Spain player Miguel Angel Nadal.
