Real Madrid fires Schuster, names Ramos new coach
Soccer Betting Lines
12/09/2008 - Madrid, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Real Madrid fired coach Bernd Schuster on Tuesday and placed former Sevilla and Tottenham coach Juande Ramos in charge until the end of the season.
Schuster guided Real to the title last term but his side are currently fifth in the La Liga table, nine points behind Barcelona, which it faces in the El Clasico on Saturday.
Schuster had admitted after Real's 4-3 weekend defeat to Sevilla that he did not believe his side could win at the Camp Nou.
"The game against Barcelona worries me less than any other game," he said. "It is not possible to win because Barcelona are in devastating form and I believe that this is going to be their year."
Ramos has been without a job since leaving White Hart Lane in October.
Real play Zenit St. Petersburg in the Champions League on Wednesday before facing Barcelona.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
