When will coach Zidane be fired?

Unable to take all 3 points from their opponent Villarreal, Real Madrid's chances of defending their La Liga title have become more fragile than ever. Currently, after 19 rounds, Los Blancos are 19 points behind Barcelona (Real Madrid played 1 less match).

With what is happening at the Bernabeu this season, the prospect of coach Zidane having to pack his bags and leave the team is clear as day. The important issue is when President Perez will make a decision on the French strategist.

A few days ago, coach Zidane also spoke up about his future at the Bernabeu. In front of the press, Zizou frankly shared:

“I know I can’t work at Real for 10 years. It could end at any moment. But at the moment, I know I have to hurry to help the team improve the situation. It could be 10 days or 6 months, but I will try my best. I know what people are saying about my achievements and Real Madrid after a series of dark days.”

Although President Perez is not a patient boss, such as Mourinho, Ancelotti or Benitez, the risk of Zidane being fired at this time is not high. Despite the fact that Los Blancos' goal of successfully defending the title is almost impossible.

However, Real Madrid is still not sure to win a position in the TOP 4. With the number of points (32) and the current position (4), the risk that the Bernabeu team cannot win a ticket to participate in the Champions League next season is not small.

The most realistic goal of coach Zidane and his team from now until the end of this season is to successfully defend a position in the TOP 4, against the threat of opponents ranked below such as Villarreal and Sevilla.

There are not many chances to compete for the La Liga championship, but the Bernabeu team still has hope in 2 arenas: Champions League and King's Cup. Instead of accepting the risk of finding a new captain, Real Madrid will continue to believe in the French strategist's fate in the most prestigious European club playground.

As long as coach Zidane helps the Royal team win the Champions League, President Perez will still keep him.

That means from now until Real Madrid is eliminated from the Champions League, the French strategist has nothing to worry about for his seat.

Thus, the earliest time for President Perez to decide to fire coach Zidane (if Real Madrid cannot improve their performance) is after the second leg of the knockout round against rival PSG (March 7, 2018). In case Los Blancos are eliminated by PSG, it is very likely that this will also be the time when coach Zidane has to say goodbye to the Bernabeu.

Thus, the possibility of the French strategist being fired by President Perez at this time is quite low./.
