January has been terrible for Real Madrid. After a positive December with good results and happiness within the club, the team was knocked out of two competitions in a week, and the Casa Blanca was a serious candidate to lift both trophies. But these were not the only bad results, and Florentino Perez is furious.

And of course, he pointed his anger to Zinedine Zidane. He has not found a good performance for the players, kept the same starters without making changes, those who are not in that group are complaining, and many expensive transfers are looking like money wasted. So his contract is near to being terminated.

It was said that Zizou was leaving at the end of the season, but the things got worse and Florentino does not want him to be on the bench in the UEFA Champions League RO16 versus Atalanta. So if he loses the next match, he is out. Real Madrid will face away Huesca, the last team in the standings.

But the recent form of the Blancos lead to think that winning there would not be something very certain. Zinedine Zidane had many important games as a coach, and won the majority of them. But they were European finals, or decisive La Liga matches to win it. Never crossed his mind that he would be desperate to win against the last of the table in the middle of the league.
