Real Madrid could fire Zinedine Zidane if they finish 2017 without a trophy. Real Madrid were heavy favorites to win La Liga before they dropped all three points to Barcelona in Sunday's Clasico.

Real Madrid must qualify for the Champions League Final for Zidane to keep his position as manager if they don't win La Liga.

Joachim Low is considered the early favorite for the job if Zidane is fired though Antonio Conte and Mauricio Pochettino are also candidates.

Zidane has been loyal to the attacking trio of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale despite their defensive shortcomings, while he's been unable to placate players such as Isco, Alvaro Morata, Marco Asensio and James Rodriguez.
