Former Tottenham Hotspur manager, Juande Ramos has been handed a six-month contract at Real Madrid after the Spanish giants parted company with Bernd Schuster on Tuesday. Schuster's departure, described by the club as being by mutual consent, comes after a poor run of form which has seen the defending Spanish champions slip to fifth place in the Primera Liga, nine points behind arch-rivals Barcelona.
Ramos now becomes Real Madrid's 11th boss in the last 10 years. While the club have made it through to the knockout stages of the Champions League, Real were knocked out of the Copa del Rey by minnows Real Union. A dejected Schuster seemed to have thrown in the towel following Sunday's 4-3 defeat at home to Sevilla (Madrid's 3rd defeat in their last four league fixtures) when he admitted his side were incapable of winning 'El Clasico' at Barcelona on Saturday.
Although Real Madrid have struggled this season Schuster enjoyed a wonderful first year at the Bernabeu, retaining the Primera Liga crown his predecessor Fabio Capello claimed in 2007.
