Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo admits 'something needs to be done' about the club's poor form.
The Spanish giants have endured a torrid start to the 2009/10 campaign, both at home and abroad.
They find themselves languishing in the bottom half of the Primera Liga standings at present, while a 4-0 defeat to Chelsea on Wednesday all but ended any hopes they had of progressing in the UEFA Champions League.
Coach Abel Resino has been forced to shoulder much of the blame for the continued failings and he could be on borrowed time.
Patience at Vicente Calderon certainly appears to be wearing thin, with Cerezo ready to take action.
He said after the midweek hammering at Stamford Bridge: "Inside 48 hours we have a league game and then a Copa del Rey match. This is what we are looking at...it is very worrying for us. I don't know what the solution is but we have to do something.
Attitude"We've let in a lot of goals and there is a psychological issue because we had a great first half (against Chelsea) up until they scored their first goal. Afterwards we have not been able to get our performance up to where it needed to be. It's a problem of concentration and attitude."
Former Spain coach Luis Aragones, who guided his country to Euro 2008 glory, has been strongly linked with a return to Atletico should Resino be moved on.
However, Cerezo insists he has not spoken to the experienced coach about the prospect of returning to the capital for a fifth spell.
"Nobody has thought about him because we had hoped that things would improve," he said in AS .
"There is nothing decided but we have to look for a solution. I need to talk with the people at the club and see what can be done. But it's clear that the situation cannot continue like this,"
