Real Madrid management make decision over Xabi position

Sunday's 1-1 draw at Girona, has left Real Madrid winless over the past five LaLiga games.

However, AS says despite the speculation around Xabi's position, he retains the board and president Florentino Perez's support.

Inside Valdebebas, it is being emphasised that this match was different from the collapses against Liverpool and Rayo Vallecano: the team fought, seeking the three points, but quality was lacking.

As such, management are confident the players are fully committed to Xabi and his tactics, but now are just missing the necessary form to begin converting draws into victories.
