We had guessed it for a few days, and even before the loss of the title on the last day of La Liga.
Zinédine Zidane has decided to quit his job as Real Madrid coach, the club announced on Thursday.
"Real Madrid announces that Zinédine Zidane has decided to end his current mandate as coach of our club," said the "White House" in a statement.
He still had a year of contract left.
Spanish champion last season, Zizou this time failed to bring back another trophy for Real.
He returned to the bench in March 2019, after leaving for the first time in 2018, when he had just won a third Champions League in a row.
He had been evasive about his future after the last league game last weekend.
“Over the next few days, I will discuss with the club, with the right people.
We will see shortly what will happen.
Not just with me, with all of Real Madrid, what the club will be like next season, ”he said.
We have to believe that his leaders did not reassure him.
Or maybe they didn't want to.
