Juande Ramos almost took charge of Atletico Madrid last week, it has been revealed.

The People says Ramos was nearly back in work just 24 hours after Tottenham sacked him.

Atletico Madrid were minutes from their fourth defeat in a row, and Ramos was being lined-up to take over from Javier Aguirre - but two late goals saw them scrape a draw and Aguirre a stay of execution.
