Bobby Not Going To Real

Legendry Ipswich Town manager Sir Bobby Robson will not be taking over as manager at Spanish giants Real Madrid.

The 71 year old who sacked by premiership side Newcastle united earlier this season has been linked with the post after Jose Antonio Camacho left the club on Monday but Madrid’s secretary Jose Luis Cerrano has said: “Bobby Robson and the other names we have received are big coaches and we have big respect for them, but we cannot have thoughts about any coach other than the one we have.

“He and Senor Camacho had two-year contracts when they arrived and there is nothing to say this has changed,

“He won the first game so we cannot think of sending him away!

“Many people have contacted us in the last few days offering coaches but Mr Garcia Remon has been appointed by the president, Florentino Perez, and has a two-year contract.

“There is nothing to say about a new coach because Mr Garcia Remon is going to be in the position of senior coach for the future.

“For how long, who knows? One year, two years, I don't know.

“No-one ever knows these things but he is the coach and no-one is thinking about a new one.”.

Madrid have reportedly received over 20 applicants for the vacant post.
