5 clubs who should sack their manager this summer

#2 Real Madrid

Zidane's overwhelming success won't deter the Madrid board from sacking him

When Real Madrid appointed Zinedine Zidane as their manager after Benitez, even they would not have expected the amount of success he would go on to have at the club.

Since taking over in January 2016, Zidane has led the club to 2 UEFA Champions League titles, 1 La Liga title and 2 UEFA Super Cups. He also helped Los Blancos become the first team ever to defend the Champions League title, and are on course for their 3rd shot at the title.

It is in the league that Real Madrid have suffered this season. They are currently in the 3rd position, 15 points behind leaders Barcelona. They were also unexpectedly knocked out of the Copa del Rey in the quarter-finals by Leganes.

Zidane's downfall this season has been due to a lack of impactful substitutes, something he had plenty of last season. The departure of Alvaro Morata, James Rodriguez, Danilo and Pepe without adequate replacements was a grave error on the Frenchman's part and Real Madrid have suffered dearly.

For a legend of Zidane's stature, Madrid might be right to give him a longer rope and see how he does next season as well after the summer transfer window. But unfortunately, Real Madrid don't have a good track-record of holding on to managers.

If Zidane manages to win the UEFA Champions League for the third time in a row, he might be in consideration for the next season as well. But their draw against Juventus in the quarter-finals is not the easiest and it just might be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
