Reeling Real turn to Ramos as Schuster shafted

AILING Spanish giants Real Madrid turned to former Sevilla and Tottenham coach Juande Ramos in a bid to get their stuttering season back on track after parting company with Bernd Schuster.

Ramos was yesterday presented to the media at a press conference at the Bernabeu immediately after Madrid sporting director Predrag Mijatovic confirmed that Schuster had left the club by mutual consent.

Schuster’s final game in charge was Sunday’s 4-3 home defeat to Sevilla — Madrid’s third defeat in four league games and a result that leaves the two-time reigning champions nine points adrift of leaders and arch rivals Barcelona.
