On 9 December 2008, Ramos became manager of Real Madrid. He replaced Bernd Schuster who left the club by 'mutual consent' after he criticised the club and players after a loss to Sevilla, and famously said the club had no chance of beating Pep Guardiola's Barcelona.

He started his reign well as he managed to bring Real Madrid back to the race for the championship after achieving 52 points out of 54 possible in 18 consecutive games.

However Bernd Schuster's words rang true later in the season as Juande Ramos' side went on to lose the match against Pep Guardiola's Barcelona at the Bernabeu 2-6, and ended the season 9 points behind the Catalans. His contract was terminated by the club at season's end, and he was replaced by Manuel Pellegrini before the start of the next season.

Stats: 27 games, 18 wins, 1 draw, and 8 losses (December 2008 - June 2009)
