Marca reports on a meeting that took place inside the Bernabeu last night and lasted until dawn, during which the future of the Madrid coach was discussed.

The home defeat 2-0 against Celta Vigo in the last round of the league, the four-point gap from Barcelona, and probably other issues (see the one with Vini Jr) are not convincing Florentino Perez, so much so that the Blancos management is reportedly already considering a possible replacement.

According to El Mundo as well, Xabi Alonso is literally playing for his job on Wednesday against Manchester City in the Champions League: in the event of a defeat, he could say goodbye to Real Madrid and, according to Spanish media, be replaced by Zinedine Zidane or Jurgen Klopp.

For the French coach, who managed to win three Champions Leagues with Real Madrid, it would be his third stint in the Spanish capital. For the German, on the other hand, it would mean leaving his role as head of football operations at Red Bull after less than a year.

Let's see if Xabi will be able to send the criticism back to the sender and extend his stay in Madrid.
