La Liga side Malaga have announced that German coach Bernd Schuster has been named as the new manager of the club.
The former Real Madrid manager has penned a five-year contract at La Rosaleda.
Schuster becomes the successor to Manuel Pellegrini, who made his exit from the club at the end of the 2012/13 season. The Chilean tactician is poised to take helm of English Premier League side Manchester City this summer.
Schuster – who has also managed Ukrainian giants Shakhtar Donetsk and Turkish side Besiktas as well – guided Los Blancos to a La Liga title in 2007/08.

He has also won the Spanish title two times as a player for Real Madrid in 1989 and 1990.
The 53-year-old has made a total of 445 appearances during his time as a player, in the colours of Koln, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and Bayer Leverkusen.
He has also won the European Championship title with West Germany in 1980.
The Anchovies finished sixth in La Liga under Pellegrini this term. However, they have been barred from playing in the Europa League in the 2013/14 season, following an order from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) this week.
