Ramos, Spanish, which had great success with Sevilla but not both at Tottenham English, will lead today by the League of Champions of Europe, the commitment to the Russian Zenit, in the Bernabeu stadium.
Real Madrid moved in this way to his eleventh technician 10 years and came back out a champion coach, as had happened in mid-2007 with the Italian Fabio Capello, replaced in June by Schuster.

"Real Madrid has the quality to win at any stadium in the world," Ramos stressed, a day after it said that Schuster was impossible to win next Saturday at the home of Barcelona, home of superclasic Spanish.
"Barca is fine, sweeping, I think this is their year. The team may try to do a good job, but you can not do, "were the words that exhausted the patience of managers meringue, which last week gave a vote of support for Schuster.
Coupled, of course, at a bad time to cross the "white house", which fell to fifth place in the league, after 14 presentations, following the 4-3 defeat of Sunday as local face Sevilla.
Madrid has been hit by a series of injuries and suspensions in recent weeks.
Schuster, who was at Real Madrid since July 2007, has been strongly criticized by the poor performance of the team this season, including a tempranera elimination of the Copa del Rey.

"It is not easy, but if we improve the team emotionally, and we are going to have much in advance," added the new coach regarding upcoming appointments of Madrid.
