Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho will reportedly attempt to force sporting director Zinedine Zidane out of the Spanish outfit in the summer.

Zidane initially joined the club as an advisor before becoming involved with first-team affairs. However, it is understood that Mourinho is not happy with the input from the former Madrid star.

"There are claims that he does nothing, there is not a word from him, no action. Mourinho was looking for someone to crack down against bad referees. He needs someone 'worse' then him," Spanish journalist Jose Ramon de la Morena told Cadena SER.

Madrid are currently seven points clear at the top of La Liga.
