The Huge Task That Awaits Zidane at Real

Despite returning less than a year after he left the club, Zidane faces a rebuilding job at Real Madrid after their Champions League dynasty came to a remarkable, humiliating end last week.

They have not adequately replaced Cristiano Ronaldo, who left for Juventus in the summer, with Karim Benzema the only Real player to reach double figures in La Liga (13). He has scored 22 goals in all competitions, with Gareth Bale on 13 and Sergio Ramos on 11.

None of those players have certain futures at Real, with captain Ramos, who has been at Real for 14 years, reportedly falling out with president Perez. Wales forward Bale is expected to leave because of a fractious relationship with the club’s fans – who have booed him recently – and players.

Other stalwarts of recent glory like Marcelo and Toni Kroos have struggled too.

This may mean difficulties for Gareth Bale, who did not get on very well with Zidane.

Sergio Ramos will have his authority reinforced and Zidane also wants the likes of Eden Hazard and perhaps even Christian Eriksen to add to the side.

He will be given all the sporting authority and all the things he suggested in the summer that Florentino Perez did not want to do – most of them will be done now.

Zidane is coming in with the idea of not just managing the side but also managing the decisions for the first team.
