Zidane has the club in suspense

“There are times when you have to be and others when you have to go for the good of all“These were the words of Zidane prior to the important league game against him Athletic. The coach's future is more in doubt than ever with just a week left until the season ends. Rumors about a possible exit from the white club are now more recurrent than ever despite the fact that he has a contract until 2022.

The uncertainty comes from afar. Already in March he began to be asked about its continuity and he preferred to avoid answering, claiming that he was not looking beyond the next game, a recurring message in recent months. “I do not look beyond the day to day. I do not plan anything. You can sign ten years here and tomorrow you are out. And backwards. You can sign a year and stay a long time. What animates me is the day to day and the rest are discussions in which I cannot say anything, “he said before the duel against Celta on March 20.

Although in those first interventions they seemed to remain an anecdote, his speech has not changed as the season progressed and in the last ones it has been more evident that he avoids matching his future and that of the club. “You can have a four or five year contract and leave tomorrow … That doesn't mean anything”, he repeated on April 17 before facing Getafe.

It has been this last week when he has generated the most doubts with his answers. Before the game against him grenade, made it clear that he is not thinking about next season. “I only think about the three games that remain”he commented. Finally today, before facing Athletic, he has released several phrases that for many are definitive.
