Despite avoiding the sack following defeat against Manchester City, Xabi Alonso has reportedly been warned any poor performance over the next few weeks could be enough to see him lose his job as Real Madrid manager.
Wednesday’s midweek loss was expected to bring an end to Alonso’s brief tenure at the Bernabéu, but club officials are understood to have left the game satisfied with both the performance of the team and the public displays of support for the manager from a number of big players.
