Real Madrid president chooses Getafe coach Schuster

Getafe coach Bernd Schuster has agreed to move to Real Madrid at the end of this season.

AS says Real president Ramon Calderon has met with the German and verbally agreed to the deal. Getafe will receive £700,000 in compensation.

Schuster has already informed close friends of the agreement and admits he is excited by the prospect of returning to Madrid. He will succeed Fabio Capello at the Santiago Bernabeu and is convinced Real's young team are on the brink of great things after a troubled season.
