5 reasons why Real Madrid could soon sack Zinedine Zidane

It is never easy to manage one of the most celebrated clubs in the world, is it? And that too when the club is as prestigious as Real Madrid and the fans as demanding as Madridistas.In case you want to experience a shade of the adversity that comes with such a high profile managerial job, put yourself in Zidane's shoes.The Frenchman joined Los Blancos on 4th January 2016, following the sacking of Rafa Benitez. The appointment was questioned by innumerable football experts, who raised objections to Zidane's experience as a manager (or lack thereof), and his stint with Real Madrid Castilla, which had not been very promising.However, it did not take very long for the Frenchman to silence the critics as he went on to win La Undécima in that very season. Moreover, Real Madrid finished runners-up in La Liga, a point behind Barcelona, a position which seemed improbable when Zidane joined Los Blancos in January 2016.In the following season, Real Madrid's success was remarkable. The former Galactico inspired them to their first La Liga title since 2011-12, La Duodécima, the 2016 FIFA Club World Cup and the 2016 UEFA Super Cup. All the same, the decline was yet to come.The 2017-18 season saw an auspicious start as Los Blancos triumphed over Manchester United and Barcelona to clinch the UEFA Super Cup and the Supercopa de España, respectively. Nevertheless, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows for Zidane. Pratfalls lurked ahead and the Frenchman was quick to fall for them.Real Madrid underwent a terrible run in La Liga and they are currently 19 points adrift (albeit, with a game in hand) of their arch-rivals, Barcelona, who are the league leaders with 57 points. On top of that, Los Blancos were knocked out by minnows Leganes from the Spanish Cup on Wednesday.As Real Madrid's dreadful run continues interminably, Zidane's job is at serious risk and he had no qualms in accepting that.&quot;Of course. That is really clear,&quot; was his statement when asked if his job was on the line.On that note, here we take a look at the top 5 reasons which might lead to Zidane's dismissal:#5 Florentino Perez's penchant for jettisoning managersPerez's overactivity might result in Zidane's dismissalReal Madrid president Florentino Perez's impatience with his managers is quite well-known and the Spanish tycoon is quick to react whenever Real Madrid experience a slide. Consequently, Real Madrid's managerial position has been shouldered by 6 different managers in the last decade.Unsurprisingly, Zinedine Zidane himself was appointed after Rafa Benitez was relieved of his managerial responsibilities in 2016. In a later interview, the Spanish manager was highly critical of Florentino Perez as he attributed Real Madrid's dearth of La Liga titles in the past decade to the Spaniard's overactivity.It seems that Perez's unease will be a significant factor in Zidane's potential dismissal.
