5 players could leave Real Madrid if Zidane is fired

Real Madrid could see no less than five players depart in the event that they fire their first-team manager as a result of poor results.

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane could well be shown the door if his side continues to underperform. The Spanish giants are staring at an embarrassing elimination from the Champions League group phase in the event that results, including their own, don’t go their way in next week’s clash versus Borussia Monchengladbach.

While Florentino Perez has considered firing the first-team coach despite his legendary status at the club, the players have always mentioned that they will back Zidane till the end- now and in the past. One of the main reasons for this is how united the squad is with the Frenchman in the dressing room and that’s also another reason why he was brought back for a second tenure.

Although it’s easier than done, Real Madrid could face serious ramifications if they decide to fire the manager. A lot of players at the club are present only because of the Frenchman and would feel unfair if their guiding light is diffused. In all likelihood, there could be an exodus of as many as six players who could leave the Bernabeu.

Here are those whose futures would be in question.
