The coach of "Getafe", who currently holds the 11th place in the Spanish championship, Bernd Schuster, denied rumors that he has signed a pre-agreement to take over as the manager of Madrid's "Real" and stated that Chelsea's current manager Jose Mourinho could move to the "Royal" club. Although J. Mourinho recently expressed his desire to stay at Chelsea, according to the German B. Schuster, the favorite to become the head coach of Madrid's "Real" is precisely the mentioned specialist from Portugal. "He (Mourinho - ed.) will win the decisive battle for the position of the head coach of Madrid's "Real" next season and there is a great chance that he will succeed," said B. Schuster. The "Getafe" coach also hurried to deny reports from the German sports news agency DPA that he had agreed to take over as the manager of "Real" from July 1. "Everything remains as it was before. Without any doubt, I do not have a pre-agreement with Madrid's "Real", that is obvious. I do not understand how a sports agency in Germany can know more than us. I just cannot explain it. If I were to sign any contract, people here would be the first to know, not some agency in Germany. This is complete nonsense," explained B. Schuster. In Spain, it was rumored that B. Schuster was already advising the Madrid club on which players to choose, and his main target was Cristiano Ronaldo. However, when asked at a press conference on Friday about the news that the Portuguese national team winger had extended his contract with Man Utd, the coach refused to comment and brushed off the topic, saying that it did not interest him at all. Meanwhile, according to the Spanish sports newspaper "AS", J. Mourinho's agent, Jorge Mendes, informed the "Real" club that the coach would be ready to take over the reins of the team in the summer, but the strategist himself vehemently denied such reports. "I have already said 20 times that I want to be here (at Chelsea - ed.) and I cannot do anything more about it. I am not a liar, I am open. When I say 200 times to players, fans, club leaders, even people not related to Chelsea, that I want to stay at Chelsea, it means I want to respect my contract, I want to be here. I love the club, I love English football and I cannot do anything more. I have forbidden my agent to speak with other clubs. I do not want my name to be associated with other work," J. Mourinho stated to Sky Sports.
