Schuster won't quit Real

Fri 21st, November 2008

Madrid, Spain (Sports Network) - Bullish Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster insists he has never considered resigning despite the club's inconsistent form leading to speculation that he is close to the sack.

Real's sporting director, Predrag Mijatovic, held a press conference at the beginning of the week in which he publicly backed the under-fire coach despite their disappointing form in both La Liga and the Champions League.

Last week's Copa del Rey exit at the hands of Segunda Division opposition was reported to be the final nail in Schuster's coffin, but the German coach has vowed to fight on in the Bernabeu hot-seat.

Speaking ahead of the must-win weekend meeting with Recreativo, he said: "I have not thought about going because there is no reason to.

"I believe I have the support of the club and that is all I need to remain calm and to continue doing my job.

"If it was up to the press then, yes (I would have been sacked), but I think that the club want me to stay. I laugh about some of the stories that have come out."
