Real Madrid Coaches have historically felt the pressure

It would be irresponsible to sack a coach based on just one match, but Real Madrid presidents have previously considered making managerial changes after heavy home Clasico defeats.

It has been this way since the 1970s, with some coaches sacked almost immediately after a big Barcelona win at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, while some lasted a little longer before being let go at the end of a season.

Spooling back through time, no coach has ever survived for much longer after losing a home Clasico by three or more goals.

It happened to Luis Molowny on two occasions, after losing 5-0 in the 1973/74 season and after a 4-0 defeat in the League Cup of 1985/86.

Amancio suffered the same fate after losing 3-0 at home to the Catalans in 1984/85, as did Vanderlei Luxemburgo after a 3-0 loss in 2005/06.

There were also consequences for Juande Ramos after the 6-2 defeat against Pep Guardiola's Barcelona in 2008/09, while Zinedine Zidane earned his current job after Florentino Perez decided to sack Rafa Benitez shortly after the 4-0 loss two seasons ago.

Presidents have also suffered from these big losses to Real Madrid's biggest rivals, with Luis de Carlos going with Amancio, with Vicente Boluda leaving at the end of the 2008/09 season and with Perez's first term coming to an end shortly after Luxemburgo's exit.

Some Real Madrid coaches have also felt the heat after a Clasico loss, even when it wasn't a hammering.

Miljan Miljanic, Alfredo Di Stefano, Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti and Zidane have all been kept on until the following home Clasico defeats, but Miljanic, Mourinho and Zidane had all won the league title, while Ancelotti won a Champions League to keep his job and Di Stefano also stayed on for coming a runner-up five times.
