Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster has been
given a vote of confidence by the Primera Liga club's sporting
director Predrag Mijatovic.
Media speculation in Spain suggested Schuster was on the
verge of being fired following a dismal run of results that has
seen Madrid lose four of their last eight competitive
matches.
However, Mijatovic insisted at a press conference at the
Madrid's Bernabeu stadium on Monday evening that the club still had
complete faith in Schuster and his players to turn things
around.
"We have one of the best squads in the world and I am convinced
that we can finish the year with a title," Mijatovic said.
"We have only played 11 games in the league and we are close to
the top.
"We have total faith in our coach. We are all very happy with
him. In recent games we have done as we have wished. Not only us,
but him as well.
"We want to transmit calm and confidence to the fans."
