Real Madrid are holding a Press Conference to officially announce that Bernd Schuster has been fired as Real manager and will be immediately replaced by Spurs failure Juande Ramos.
Days before el clasico, the club that is arguably the biggest in the world, have continued their form with their hiring and firing head coaches… the huge is that news that the man who had Spurs nailed to the bottom of the Premier League, and an alleged split and unhappy dressing room at White Hart Lane has taken over from last years la liga winning manager.
The German coach’s statement that Los Merengues had no chance of winning at Barcelona on Saturday had not gone down well with the Bernabeu hierarchy, and the speculation that had been rife for the last few weeks, built up even more this week into a cruscendo this morning.
The stars at the Bernabeu, have not had the best start to the season, and have struggled of late with a number of poor performances and results. They are nine points behind Barca already, out of the Copa del Rey to minnows and have underperformed in the Champions League meaning they will have the disadvantage of playing their second leg of the knock-out round away.
Sporting Director Predrag Mijatovic was thought to have been the driving force behind president Ramon Calderon’s sacking of Schuster, the club president has himself been underfire and will hope that the heat will lift for a little while and that fortunes change.
Ramos has been given a contract until the end of the year for now, he head been out of work since being sacked by Spurs in October and while his work may not have been appreciated in North London, his stock in Spain is still high following his Sevilla days.
