Getafe president clears Schuster for Real Madrid move

Getafe president Angel Torres revealed last night that he had agreed to release coach Bernd Schuster from his contract.

Schuster is expected to be named new Real Madrid coach next week and Torres confirmed: "If he is to join Real Madrid, he will be allowed to do so because there will be no compensation to pay."

Torres has agreed to wave the £220,000 compensation clause in Schuster's contract should the German leave Getafe before the agreement expires in 2008.

Meanwhile, Schuster said: "Angel has given me tremendous joy. He knows that I have given my life to Getafe over these two years and he will not stop me from fulfilling my dream. Torres has behaved like a gentleman and a knight and there will be no problems with compensation."

"Surely, next week everything will be cleaned up."
