The coronavirus crisis has forced the Real Madrid leadership to make decisions about planning for next season. The most important affects the bench. As you could know AS, whatever happens from here to the summer, whether or not the rest of the League and Champions are played, Zidane will be the coach of the next project, that of the 2020-21 season.
The initial plan of the executives of the Bernabéu noble plant was to wait for the end of the season and take stock according to the final income statement, as has been done in previous courses. If he won the League, the title closest to hand, the French coach would continue safely fulfilling his contract, which ends in 2022. But a double failure in the League and Champions would have opened a range of alternatives that were already beginning to be managed, with Mauricio Pochettino (now without a team) leading that 'change candidacy'.

But the sad consequences of the coronavirus, which now has the squad of the first quarantined team Due to the positive given by Thompkins (a basketball team player who shared common spaces with his soccer teammates in Valdebebas), he has managed to everything is completely reconsidered. Zidane will continue in his position even if the competitions were resumed and Madrid could not win either the League or the Champions, scenario that is not contemplated because there is confidence in recovering Barça the current two points of disadvantage in the eleven days that remain to be played, and more by having won the particular goalaverage at Barça (0-0 at the Camp Nou and 2-0 at the Clásico at the Bernabéu).
In fact, Zidane and his coaching staff are already working on planning for next season, although with the logical uncertainties caused by the times, given that in no case will the next League be able to start on the scheduled dates as a result of all the postponements that have led to the momentary suspensions of all competitions. The Marseillaise has to decide which players he does not have for his next project (James, Odriozola, Brahim, Jovic, Mariano or Bale are in that group) and which players do you want to recover or not from the loaned (Lunin, Achraf, Reguilón, Óscar Rodríguez, Odegaard, Ceballos, Kubo and Borja Mayoral). The break in these weeks will allow the coach of the three consecutive Champions to make all these decisions without rushing.
