AS have now claimed that if Real Madrid go trophyless this season, Zidane's role as manager will be discussed in the board meeting and the Frenchman will then be relieved of his duties.

A loss against FC Barcelona on the weekend has made matters worse for him. The Spanish outlet has also reported that Joachim Low is being looked as the man to take over the reigns from Zidane.
