FIGO FEARS FOR ZIDANE'S REAL MADRID FUTURE

FIGO FEARS FOR ZIDANE'S REAL
MADRID FUTURE


By Stefan Coerts
The ex-Blancos winger is delighted his former
team-mate is in charge at the Bernabeu, but
has warned a lack of success could cost him
his job
Former Real Madrid winger Luis Figo fears
for Zinedine Zidane 's future at the Santiago
Bernabeu as he has warned results are all
that matter in the Spanish capital.
Zidane replaced Rafael Benitez as the man in
charge at Madrid back in January and can
still win the Liga title and Champions League
in his first season.
Madrid are just a point behind La Liga
leaders Barcelona and city rivals Atletico
Madrid in second place with three games
remaining, while Manchester City await in the
Champions League semi-finals.
However, Figo has warned Zidane's status at
Madrid could change quickly if they fail to
win any silverware.

Ronaldo will travel to face Man City
"I am very happy for Zidane that he is Madrid
coach, both as a former team-mate and as a
friend," Figo told El Mundo .
"He is very shy but a super honest person
and a very good professional. He's a great
friend and a symbol of Real Madrid.
"I think him becoming Madrid coach was a
natural process. He always wanted to
become a coach.
"I hope that he will remain Madrid coach for
many more years, but the position of coach
at Madrid is very unstable and it always
depends on results. They change coaches a
lot of times."
