Schuster takes over at Madrid
Posted by Z on July 9th, 2007
The second most tedious transfer saga of the summer has finally come to an end. After Manchester United’s signing of Owen Hargreaves, the whole ‘Schuster to Madrid’ story was being dragged endlessly. And thankfully we were spared another month of gossip and needless speculation, when Schuster was announced as the new manager of Real Madrid. Schuster is the seventh manager to be in charge of the los merengues in seven years!
Schuster comes to Madrid on the back of two successful seasons with Getafe, who he led to back to back ninth place finishes in the league. He comes to the team, with the twin tasks of winning titles and at the same time entertaining the Bernabeu. It is certainly going to be very interesting times in Madrid next season.
And Schuster’s first target? Cesc Fabregas! Whether, the young midfielder will make the move to Spain remains to be seen. I get the feeling that Fabregas wont make the move considering the amount of respect he has for the ability of Arsene Wenger. Arsenal fans will be hoping for some words of reassurance from either Fabregas or Wenger.
Good luck mate, you need it, considering you are replacing a manager who just won the league!

i think roman calderon is the biggest tit in the world. Why did he choose Capello when he wanted to entertain the bernebeu? Did fab cap have a track record of fluent football? NO.. Schuster was relegated with levante a few years ago, so he calderon is basing his decision on schuster’s two years with getafe. by the logic, fat sam should be coaching chelsea…
