Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon insists coach Bernd Schuster retains his confidence despite talk of crisis engulfing the inconsistent Spanish champions.

Schuster's future was already under scrutiny before Sunday's dismal derby defeat to Getafe, with reports suggesting the club's hierarchy have already drawn up a list of replacements for the German coach.

But despite Sunday's 3-1 humbling, Calderon still believes Schuster is the right man for the job - at least for the time being.

"With Schuster we will wait until the end unless a catastrophe occurs, that is to say a situation which becomes unsustainable - for example if things become very, very bad or there is a massive reaction against him by the fans," he said.

"I'm confident in him. He's a coach who has demonstrated he's capable of winning the league with these same players.

"The situation could change, we have to be patient and hope."
