Pedrerol tells Zidane: Time to be honest and leave Real Madrid

El Chiringuito pundit Josep Pedrerol says it's time for Zinedine Zidane to leave Real Madrid.

Zidane is under huge pressure at Real after last night's Copa del Rey defeat at Alcoyano - just a week after losing the semifinal of the Supercopa de Espana to Athletic Bilbao.

Pedrerol snapped: "I was one of those who said that Florentino (Perez, Real president) shouldn't kick Zidane out, because of the legend, what he has done etc ... Now I think Florentino has to see the images with Zidane and ask him 'Explain this image to me before extra-time? You have to explain to me why you went through everything, do I pay you only for 90 minutes?'

"Given that image, Zidane has to be honest and go home."

One of the most criticised aspects of the Frenchman was his attitude during the Copa, with little expressiveness when his team reached extra time.
