Former Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster has claimed that Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho is not good enough to take charge at the Bernabeu, amid speculation that the former Chelsea boss could leave Italy for Spain this summer.

Schuster won the La Liga title with Los Merengues in 2008, but stepped down after saying his side had no chance of defeating Barcelona in El Clasico the following season.

After losing tamely to Barcelona for the fourth El Clasico game in a row last weekend, Real's title hopes are all but over and Mourinho has been widely linked with a move to the Bernabeu to replace the under fire Manuel Pellegrini - who looks certain to be sacked at the end of the season.

Mourinho was linked with a move to Madrid at the end of last season and used their interest to secure a pay rise at Inter, but German coach Schuster, who played for both Real and Barcelona, does not believe Mourinho has what it takes to succeed in Madrid.

"Mourinho doesn't have the profile or the philosophy of Real Madrid, Schuster told Spanish radio station Cadena Copa. "Pellegrini has not changed the team's style of play either."

Mourinho has often expressed his desire to win La Liga and thereby become the first coach to lift the league title in each of Europe's top three Leagues.
