Real Madrid have sacked Brazilian coach Wanderley Luxemburgo.
Luxemburgo had been in charge for less than a year after replacing Mariano Garcia Remon on December 30 last year.
Tonight's announcement came 24 hours after Real beat local rivals Getafe 1-0 for their first win in four Primera Liga and Champions League matches - a game which saw England midfielder David Beckham sent off.
Luxemburgo has been replaced by Juan Ramon Lopez Caro, the coach of the club's reserve team Real Madrid Castilla who are in the second division.
Lopez Caro, who has been in charge of Castilla for the last five seasons, has never before coached a top-flight team.
The Seville-born 42-year-old becomes the sixth Real coach since Florentino Perez took over the presidency in 2000, following in the footsteps of Vicente Del Bosque, Carlos Queiroz, Jose Antonio Camacho, Mariano Garcia Remon and Luxemburgo.
Del Bosque, Garcia Remon and Lopez Caro were all promoted from within the club.
