Zinedine Zidane retains the full support of his board at Real Madrid, Goal has learned, with the Frenchman not facing the axe despite suffering a humbling Copa del Rey defeat to Alcoyano.
That reversal, which came against third-tier opposition that had been reduced to 10 men, means the Liga heavyweights have seen another route to potential silverware in 2021 blocked off.
