- Zinedine Zidane sends warning message to Real Madrid over team selection
- Los Blancos boss insisted that he ditch the club once more if the club chiefs refuse to allow him do his job
- The Frenchman staged a return to the club barely nine months after leaving them last summer earlier this year
Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has insisted that he will dump the club once again if they refused to allow him select his team.
The Frenchman made history with Los Blancos after leading them to three successive Champions League triumph in two and a half season.
He then stepped down from his position at the end of last season which led to the club's failure in all competitions this campaign.
Zidane staged a return to the Santiago Bernabeu in March after the sack of Santiago Solari, who took over from Julen Lopetegui - both managers already managed the club this season.

The Galacticos handler however sends a strong message to the club's chiefs, telling them if he smells any interference in his team selection, he will walk away from the club.
Daily Star reports that Zidane's threats centered around who stands in between the sticks for his side, insisting that decision lies solely with him.
Last summer, Real splashed £35 million on Belgian stopper Thibaut Courtois but Zidane made it clear that he will not be pressured into picking players based on transfer fee alone.
"I will decide who will be the first and second choice goalkeepers," Zidane said.
"It's my decision. It's as clear as water. If I can't do what I want with my team, I'll leave, that's for sure. "Then there are people who sign players and we do that together.
"But the starting 11, the bench, those that aren't in the squad, that's only for me to decide."
Los Blancos manager has also revealed that Gareth Bale will not be a part of his plans next season- hence, the Welshman can leave the club this summer.
Reports also claimed that Keylor Navas was in a similar situation, but Zidane denied that the Costa Rican has been told to find a new club.
"If I've said goodbye to him, if I want him to leave... there's one game left," the French coach said.

"The goalkeeper position will be very clear next year, but nothing more. We'll see what happens.
"As for Keylor, who knows what I've told him, no one knows. I've spoken with everyone. Navas has a contract, then we'll see."
