Ramos replaces Schuster at Madrid
Bernd Schuster has left Real Madrid by mutual consent with former Sevilla and Tottenham boss Juande Ramos named as his replacement on a six-month contract.
Schuster departs having overseen a run of indifferent form for the defending Spanish champions with Madrid currently in fifth place in the Primera Liga, nine points behind arch-rivals Barcelona.
They were also knocked out of the Copa del Rey by minnows Real Union.
Madrid director of sport, Pedja Mijatovic, told a press conference: "We spoke to Schuster about all the difficulties over the past few months.
"We came to the mutual agreement to take this decision. He took the the decision well.
"I have to take the opportunity to thank Bernd Schuster for the work he did at Real Madrid. He did an excellent job last season to win the title and the Spanish Supercopa."
