There and back again is Juande Ramos back from his failure at mordor(Tottenham Hotspurs) to his shire(Spain ) where he led his former club Sevilla to Uefa Cup and Uefa Super Cup win only to be rewarded with a new job at Tottenham Hotspurs worth 6 million euros a year making him the higest paid managers.
It all started well with Tottenham Hotspurs who were in the relegation zone before his arrival but the clubs performance in the cup games improved as they crossed the second stage of uefa cup only to be beaten on penalties and the league cup victory which included wins against Arsenal(5-1) and Chelsea(2-1) and they finished 11th in the table. But 2008-09 saw Ramos lead them to the worst ever starts they were quite visibly missing the services of Dimitar Berbatov.
So what happens....as usual he gets sacked and gets replaced by Harry Redknapp.This was his tale at MORDOR.
Now he is back again at shire and in a new home at Santiago Bernabeu which is in dire straits with their recent run of losses the most recent being the 4-3 loss against Sevilla. This recent run of horrible form has lead to the sacking of Schuster who in the press quoted that "Real Madrid are incapable of winning the El Classico". Whatever Ramos definitely has a burden on his shoulders. The Galcticos a side filled with stars and managing them will be a problem. His first game is the Uefa Champions League match against Zenit St.Ptersburg but will he be able to pep up this shattered side against Barcelona at Camp Nou this weekend.
We will have to wait and watch but this Barca side is on a rampage with a goal difference of +35 which is out of the ordinary and Juande Ramos has to prepare his side to prevent any sort of embarrassment at El Classico, with half of the stars injured it seems a very uphill task.
