Zinedine Zidane cast doubt on his future at Real Madrid by refusing to confirm whether or not he would fulfill his contract.
The Frenchman has an agreement at the Bernabeu until 2022, but there is no guarantee that he will remain on the bench until then.
Real’s form this season has cast doubt on his future with club president Florentino Perez, known for hiring and firing managers.
Zidane led Los Blancos to win the La Liga title last season, but failed to mount a meaningful defense this season.
He also escaped from the Champions League group and faces Atalanta in the round of 16.

The 48-year-old is not worried about his future and insisted that there will always be changes at a club like Madrid.
“We’ll see,” said Zidane when asked about the chances of seeing his current business.
“The important thing is the day to day, This is what worries me. What happened has already happened.
“What I say is that we who are here deserve to work. Everyone can say what they want. What we are going to do here is to believe in what we do.
“Why should I leave if I do what I like?

“You go through bad times, of course, this is normal in life. In Madrid we know that it is a great club and that what we have to do is compete. And here, there will always be changes. “
Zidane has a history of enormous success with the Spanish giants, having guided them to a hat-trick of victories in the Champions League.
The Frenchman left after his third victory against Liverpool in 2018.
He also won the La Liga title in 2017, on his way to completing the double.
Zidane returned less than a year after leaving the team, after short passages unsuccessful by Julien Lopetegui and Santiago Solari.
