Real Madrid in shambles and the Head has got to go
Having gone three matches without a win in La Liga, things could not have gotten any more worse but the result on Tuesday proves otherwise. Madrid lost to Shakhtar Donetsk in their champions league fixture on Tuesday and the possibility of exiting the competition to the Europa league even looms further. Yet Madrid head coach sees this as no reason to panic.
Zidane's gentle and diplomatic nature might have won him love and respect from the players and fans but it won't save him his job this time around. Numerous names continue to fly out as potential candidates to replace him as the head coach of Real Madrid yet Zidane sees no cause for the alarm.
He has indeed remarkable feats with this club but all his method seems not to be working anymore. He has not been helped with numerous injuries to key players such as Hazard and with age catching up with some old players, their performances have dropped.
The whole team looks out of some sort and getting everyone motivated might require bringing in a new set of eyes to run the affairs of things in the club hot seats. Lots of names have sprung up but Massimiliano Allegri is believed To be the candidate with the right mentality to lead the club forward.
They have been calls for Zizou to resign as Madrid's head coach due to the bad performances of his teams of late, yet he has refused to. Minutes after losing in the champions league in Ukraine, he assures fans that he won't resign through the press conference held.
Zidane might be a legend at the club first as a player and secondly as a coach, so he will still be given more time to turn things around. The truth is, it's better to know when to leave with shoulders held high and given his exploits last season, now may be the best time to walk away. Madrid has always been a club not scared to cut ties with anyone regardless of much you have given the club.
His three champions league won for real Madrid might count for less if he does not turn the tides of things at the club. The performance of the players has been below par for some time now and it's reflecting in the result of matches. But the head coach has to shoulder much of the blame too as his decisions makings and tactics have been failing too. Even some people have started saying that he was just lucky to achieve his success with Real Madrid due to the players in has in his arsenal.
In Zizou defense, he has been lacking a performer like Ronaldo in his rank and we all know that Ronaldo will always improve any team. Hazard who was brought in to replace him is yet to find his feet in the white shirt colors of real Madrid as injuries have hindered him to few appearances. But the major setback so far has been the loss of Ramos to injury and the whole Madrid team is in shambles because of this. Ever since his injury, Madrid has conceded in all the matches played. The defense has not been the same and his defense partner seems Varane has found it hard coping with another partner.
Let's see how Zidane will react to this latest loss has his performance in the coming weeks will decide his fate as a Real Madrid manager.
