Real Madrid president Florentino makes Lopetegui decision

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez will not act on coach Julen Lopetegui during the international break.

Lopetegui is under huge pressure after defeat to Alaves - a fourth consecutive game without victory nor a goal.

However, Marca says Florentino is refusing to panic and will stand by his coach.

But Lopetegui has been told the board is losing confidence in him and he needs to turn results around when the LaLiga resumes.

Despite the defeat and poor form, Real still sit second on the table before Sunday's round of games.
