Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has claimed that he would "leave tomorrow" if he did not think that he could improve his side's form during the rest of the season.

Real sit 19 points adrift of Barcelona in the La Liga standings while on Wednesday night, the club were eliminated by Leganes in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals.

Zidane is under pressure to keep his job at the Bernabeu, but the Frenchman has insisted that his team are capable of coming through their poor spell in all competitions.

At a press conference, the 45-year-old said: "If I thought my message wasn't working, I would leave tomorrow.

"In football there are good and bad moments, what I have is a desire to change the situation. I feel strongly about this, otherwise there would be a problem."

Real can move to within two points of third-placed Valencia with victory at the Mestalla on Saturday afternoon.
