Zidane was going through one of the worst moments since the first time he sat on the Real bench. The reason was the surprising relegation in the 16th of the finale of the Spanish Cup from the third division. In this hard moment for him, Zidane tested positive for Coronavirus.

The coach of the Spanish football champion Real Madrid Zinedine Zidane (48) has been infected with the coronavirus, the “royal” club announced on Friday before the visit to Alaves in the Primera.

Six days earlier, Real also lost 1-2 in the semifinals of the Spanish Super Cup to Athletic Bilbao. Zidane, on the other hand, said that he did not intend to resign and would try to raise the team. Real Madrid is in second place in the league with seven points less with a game more than leading Atletico Madrid.

Nobody knows how long he has to be in self-isolation. On Wednesday, the captain of the Croatian national team, Luka Modrić, did not travel with the team to the Alcoy in the province of Valencia. Modric decided to rest. Maybe it has some connection with the fact that Zidane tested positive for Coronavirus.

On Friday, he trained with the team at a sports camp in the north of the city, preparing for the match with Alaves, which ranks 17th in the championship among 20 clubs.
