Real Madrid lost in their latest European game. This has led to speculation about Zinedine Zidane's future.
The 'merengue' directive, however, does not even consider dispensing with Zidane. "The club does not question nor has it ever questioned the coach," sources from Real Madrid are said to have told 'AS'.
The leadership is on Zizou's side. "It is not necessary to talk about him. He is a coach who has given us a lot, he is part of the history of the club," say those same voices.
This Wednesday there is a meeting, but in no case will they talk about his possible dismissal. "We are not going to talk about anything related to Zidane because he does not play", they settled the matter.
They are not at all happy with the criticism Zidane is receiving from the board. They consider that he has earned respect for the great deal he has given to Real Madrid and they are hurt that his continuity is being questioned.
"Nobody here is going to talk about Zidane or of course about other coaches. Madrid's support for Zidane is unquestionable": this is the message that members of the leadership would have sent to those who place Pochettino and Raúl on the list of possible candidates to succeed the Frenchman.
