Three defeats in five games. It has not a good one for the Spanish giant Real Madrid lately, where they even lost 0-2 to Shakhtar Donetsk yesterday.

According to media, the management of the club is considering how long the club can keep Zidane as coach when the results are not better. It is, among other things, the looming exit in the Champions League that has raised doubts in the management of Real Madrid.

Zinedine Zidane should therefore reportedly have three matches to prove his worth if he wants to keep his job. These are the matches against Sevilla and Atletico Madrid in La Liga and the decisive Champions League match against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Further, Marca writes that Real Madrid already have a favorite to take on Zinedine Zidane position and This is former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino who is the preferred candidate and who is currently without a club.

Zinedine Zidane and Real Madrid have contract until the summer of 2022, and if that is to remain a reality, Real Madrid must win this weekend's showdown against Sevilla.
