Real Madrid have named Bernd Schuster as their new coach following the sacking of Fabio Capello.
The 47-year-old German has ended his two-year association with Getafe to take over at the Bernabeu.
"His teams play good, entertaining football," said Real president Ramon Calderon. "He knows the club and will handle a dressing room full of stars."
Capello was sacked on 28 June - only 11 days after he led Real to their first league title since 2003.
Schuster will be officially unveiled at a news conference at 1215 BST.
Getafe have moved quickly to replace Schuster, appointing Dane Michael Laudrup as their new coach on a two-year contract.
Former Barcelona and Real Madrid player Schuster led Getafe to the Spanish Cup final and ninth place in La Liga last season.
He had previously coached Fortuna Koln, FC Koln, Xerez, Shakhtar Donetsk and Levante.
Schuster was expected to buy himself out of his contract at Getafe before making the switch to Real after Calderon had said he would not pay a transfer fee to sign a coach.
Real claimed they had talks with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, PSV Eindhoven coach Ronald Koeman and former Brondby coach Michael Laudrup.
However, last week Arsenal denied that Real spoke to Wenger.作者: Kev 時間: 2007-7-9 11:53 PM
