Zinedine Zidane is gradually moving towards the exit door at Real Madrid with Ladbrokes chalking up odds on the Frenchman getting the axe before Christmas.

The Spanish giants have struggled to get going this season and are already 10 points off Barcelona in La Liga, which has led to the bookies pricing up a shock exit for the former Galático at just 4/1.

Los Blancos have won just one of their last four matches, slumping to defeats against Tottenham in the Champions League and a shock 2-1 loss to Spanish minnows Girona in the league.

As things stand, Carlo Ancelotti and Mauricio Pochettino are leading the way as potential replacements at 7/2 and 11/2 respectively.

Meanwhile, Laurent Blanc is a 17/2 shot, with Arsene Wenger rounding out the leading quartet at 8/1 - although a sensational Bernabeu return for Jose Mourinho looks unlikely at 25/1.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "Real Madrid chiefs are hardly known for their patience and our traders reckon they could call time on Zidane's spell if things don't improve soon."
