[SPORTS] Zidane set to be replaced with Xabi Alonso

Zinedine Zidane's decision to give his Real Madrid squad a day off following their heavy defeat to Paris Saint-Germain has angered the Real Madrid board, reports Mundo Deportivo.

Florentino Perez and the rest of the club's directors are confused as to why players were seemingly rewarded for a poor performance in the Champions League.

It only adds to the pressure growing on Zidane, as poor results against Sevilla this weekend, and Atletico Madrid in two weeks could see him lose his job.
