Zinedine Zidane is reportedly on the brink of capture at Real Madrid, with Los Blancos bosses looking for a move for former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Real Madrid were beaten 2-0 to Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League on Tuesday night, leaving them with the real threat of playing in the Europa League after Christmas.
Alavés’ defeat in La Liga followed at the weekend, a result that left them fourth in the Spanish top flight, seven points behind Real Sociedad, which set the pace.

He said after the Shakhtar result: “I will not give up – not at all. We have always had delicate moments. It is true that it is a losing streak in terms of results, but we must continue.”
“It is a difficult moment but I am convinced that we are going to bring out our character. We have to win the next game. I am convinced that we can do it. “
But the decision could be made out of his hands, with Pochettino reportedly the name at the top of the list of possible replacements for Real.
It is stated that the personal terms are already between the two parties.
