Zinedine Zidane could be sacked by Real Madrid tonight as Florentino Perez assesses his options

Posted by

Obviously a manager does deserve some credit for work they’ve done in the past, but it’s hard to make a case for Zinedine Zidane staying at Real Madrid based on his current record.

He appears to be incapable of developing young players so he’s forced to rely on his veterans, they could go at least nine points adrift in the La Liga title race if Atleti win their game in hand and Champions League elimination looks like a genuine possibility.

There are further problems when the team is just so maddeningly inconsistent, so they look completely capable of dropping points no matter who they play.

They’ve lost to Alaves and Shakhtar Donetsk in the last few days, so it’s being reported that Real Madrid President Florentino Perez is fully considering his options tonight:

It’s even suggested that Zidane could be sacked tonight if Perez decides that’s the best option for the team, while it’s confirmed that Zidane has no intentions of resigning.

It’s believed that former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino would be the chosen one to take over if Zidane is sacked, so this could be an interesting few hours for the future of the club.

    1. Half of the team has passed best before date. The rest is young talents who did not deliver as expected. And Vasquez…….What can a coach do?

  1. DO NOT SACK ZINEDINE ZIDANE.
    IT IS JUST A PHASE THE CLUB IS GOING THROUGH. GIVE HI HIM MORE TIME.

    1. I agree. The team is in the transitional phase and the best man for the task at hand couldn’t be anybody other than the legendary Zizou. After all, people forget quickly that he just won Laliga last season with all complications in the personnel due to injuries that have haunted the team and depleted it of its crucial resources. I hope Florentino is no stupid to believe that some outsider can come and immediately change the team’s fortunes.

  2. Zidane should be booted out tonite. He has lost d initiative. He cannot manage d team anymore. Secondly, Fiorentino Perez should immediately commence replacement of d aged players. Gud players sent on loan shuld return in january 2021

  3. I still don’t understand but it seems when madrid is on the ball they don’t go for the attack they just pass around themselves with no intention to make a goal happen

  4. Zidane is been bayas what is the problem with marcelo that zidane can,t play him yesterday was a game that the iconic number 12 suppose to have play but in every game he prefers to use mendy even during mourinho erea the only game i know that marcelo is not gurantee a playing time is in the el-classico but to zidane every game mendy must play

  5. what a shameful night, a club like real Madrid loosing points unnecessarily, Florentino is to blame for allowing Rinaldo to leave the club

  6. The sack should have been long ago y’all know why the first day he showed Hakimi,Regulion,Theo, also loaned the likes of Kubo,Reiner, etc but rather kept the likes of Marcelo 32 years,Modric 33, he should have lived by time when time changes you change but he wanted and wanting to live in the past. Real Madrid have got great talent but it’s unfortunate zidane isn’t able to utilize our talent I know for sure he’s trying his luck and Madrid are not for luck it’s unfortunate but this is the end of the road. You are no good for our great Madrid. Thanks all the same we will always remember you both positively and negatively

  8. sack zidane is not a solution. to me, interfere to his x1 for good 3 game including marcelo for stupid mendi, isco for kross, militao for dissastros varane, vini for lazy assensio, casemiro for idiot odegard & rodrigo at left it overcome the issue.

  9. Hi Varane should be drop because he cause our last champions league elimination by man city and still causing more problems yesterday as an example even courtois is not at his best every match he concieve a goal.what a mess zidane have to change his tactics.

  10. not only zidane perez have to resigne too let such person like c.Ronald goal machine perez make big mistake as Manchester did by let Ronaldo go

  11. Zizzou is just out of form like everyone else does, so why insult him much, as a madridista i suggest he deserved more time to proof his worth

  12. zidane have a big problem why keeping marcelo
    secondly zidane don’t want to buy players
    Madrid with zidane this season is hard attack
    perez have to sack zidane at all

  13. I really agrea that realmadrid got the talented product in hakimi and roguelon but zidan, decided to sell rader than to buy superstars like nbappe and halaan to comebay with our best product for the feature of the club.

  14. Really! Zizou sacked? Football sacked? TRIPPLE LEGEND. Wold Cup with his head only Maradona compares to his services to the national team. Players at Juve, Realand what a player winning almost all there is to win, Coach and Manager at Real – THE ONLY ONE OF HIS KIND – THE RAL SPECIAL-ONE WHO DOES, AS HE SAYS, HIS TALKING ON THE PITCH (TRY THREE SUCCESSIVE CL TROPHIES, LA LIGA CHAMPIONS). Who can step in GIANT shoes? Pocchechino WON IT ALL? BETTER TAKE ARSETETA AND THE CRASS AS A PLAYMAKER.

  15. Madrid has made a mistake by bringing zizo back to Real Madrid because he has done what he has done at past and he can never make that history again, Madrid sack him and look for another coach who can make another history for club.

    Hala Madrid

  16. zidane is an idiot he always was. when he toop champions leauge he already had class team+ronaldo. it was all ronaldo. since ronaldo left he brought no one new, he is sticking with benzema untill he dies of old age.

    he is an idiot!

  17. Pls!think before you do,zidane is not a stupid,he know what he’s doing,don’t forget that football is black and white,i know that real madrid is in trouble because we have problems in defense every game they gave us tension and our attacker’s are not good.About sacking coach,if f/perez sack zidane and replace to pochittino alot of bad things will happen better this current,i believe that real madrid will regret if they did that.

  18. what a legend zizu
    sack him he don’t know how to use young talent
    like kubo hakimi he lead them go
    usin cross modrid marcelo e t c all over age
    it’s time for u pochetitino
