Zidane won three Champions League titles in a row before leaving the Spanish capital last summer, but is now back at the helm and does not have the chance to add to his silverware this season.Real, who are third in the table and 12 points off the top, suffered a humiliating Champions League exit to Ajax and were knocked out of the Copa del Rey by arch rivals Barcelona.
