M|ch · 06-28-2007

Fabio Capello will be sacked later today after Bernd Schuster was released from his contract at Getafe late last night.

Schuster would have had to pay Getafe 400,000 euros in order to rescind his contract, but given the superb job done by the German, club president Angel Torres has decided to forfeit the sum and wish him the best.
This comes after some rather stubborn resistance offered by Torres, and the understanding is that he chose to end things on positive terms in hope that he could land some Madrid youngsters on loan this summer.
The decision sets Schuster up for the Real Madrid job, as Ramon Calderon had made it amply clear that any negotiations would only take place after "contractual obligations with Getafe were resolved."
The Madrid's directors are scheduled to meet later today, and will take a final decision on Capello's dismissal. However, a formal communication will take place on Monday, July the 2nd, as Capello will only be entitled to one year's compensation if sacked after the 30th of June.
Capello had earlier claimed that he would "make Madrid pay every cent" they owed him if he was sacked, but it seems as if the coach will have to settle for just one year's salary.
Once the announcement is made, Schuster will be confirmed as the new coach, and be officially presented on Monday itself. In the meanwhile, it is understood that he will start his work informally, discussing transfer strategy so that Madrid can make their moves after watching Barcelona finish most of their transfer business already.
AS provide a rather interesting comment on the subject, quoting the president as having told aides: "All the people are requesting me to bring Schuster to Madrid. That means we have made the right decision."
