The German Tactician has been held responsible for the Spanish champions' stuttering form and recurring losses in the past few weeks.

However, the Veteran hitman heaped praise on his boss during a discussion with the club president Ramon Calderon.

According to Radio Marca, the 31-year-old described the heavily-criticized manager as confident and optimistic.

The Former Spain skipper also lauded Schuster's attitude, saying he always listens to his lads' suggestions to redeem themselves.

Los Merengues board had given the Getafe former coach one last chance of a pardon.

The Capital side are facing Real Valladolid in a League match on Saturday, and Schuster would stay on should his side register a victory, otherwise he would be shown the door.
