Real Madrid management started thinking about looking for a replacement for Zidane
Spanish newspaper "AS" revealed in its issue today that a number of Real Madrid management officials have started discussing among themselves the possibility of searching for a replacement for the French coach Zinedine Zidane, especially after the disappointing start of the new season, whether in results or performance.
She said that the administration's doubts about Zidane's ability to fix the deteriorating situation of the team increased even more and reached the point of opening the door to change, after the disastrous loss of the weakest team of the second group in the Champions League, Shakhtar of Ukraine, 3-2 at Madrid.
Shakhtar had dumbfounded everyone in Madrid by winning 3-0 in the first half, then Real returned with two goals, but ended the match with a cruel and historic defeat for the visiting team.
The newspaper, which is close to the decision-making circles of the Royal Club, said that the team's poor levels, disappointing results, disintegration in play lines, and the absence of the required quality of Real Madrid players made them reconsider the possibility of betting on Zidane to complete the season, although he still has some confidence from the president. Florentino Perez, the only one clinging to his survival now.
The Barcelona match in the upcoming Clásico next Saturday may constitute a lifeline for Zidane in the event of a win or at least a draw, but it may deepen his crisis in the event that he receives the next consecutive loss in just a week's time, as he started it with a humiliating defeat that had not happened before throughout his history against the newly promoted until "LaLiga", Kadesh and at home, then 3-2 from Shakhtar in the Champions League.
What makes the situation even more difficult is the continued absence of big names, chief among them the captain and pommel in defense, Sergio Ramos, as well as the Belgian star Eden Hazard.
