5 reasons why Zinedine Zidane could be sacked this season

#4 Final table position

Both Valencia and Atletico Madrid are also above the Blancos

In accordance with the previous slide, losing to Barcelona would actually put Madrid at the risk of moving out of the top four spots. While this might not even come up as a possibility in the minds of many fans due to the fact that this generation doesn’t actually remember the last time that has happened, this could actually happen.

Right now, many are conveniently denying the existence of Valencia and Atletico Madrid sandwiched between the two giants. Guys, Real Madrid are actually fourth on the table—which, in December, is a big thing.

While first-placed Barca might be 11 points away, 5th place Sevilla are only 2 points behind the Galacticos and have a real chance of toppling the Madrid giants, despite the fact that they got rampaged 4-0 in their last meeting.

As of now, Zidane’s main target should be getting back in a respectable position in the league—and a failure to do so might just see him get the axe.
