LaLiga Oficial: Zidane stops being Real Madrid coach
Opinion Zidane always escapes the twilight
"Dear madridistas."
Thus begins the letter that Zinedine Zidane, already a former Real Madrid coach, has addressed to fans after the club officially announced his departure last Thursday.
In a letter published on the front page of the newspaper
As
,
Zidane
explains the reasons for his departure: "I'm leaving, but I'm not jumping off the boat and I'm not tired of training," he says.
To fill the position left vacant by
Zidane,
several names are heard, although with special force those of the Italian
Antonio Conte
, the Argentine
Pochettino
or the wild card of
Raúl González
, current
Castilla
coach
.
"I am leaving because I feel that the club no longer gives me the confidence I need, it does not offer me the support to build something in the medium or long term," argues
Zidane
, in a letter in which he does not skimp on criticism. "I know football and I know the demands of a club like
Madrid
, I know that when you don't win you have to go," he continues, "but here one very important thing has been forgotten, everything that I have built in the day has been forgotten to day, what I have contributed in the relationship with the players, with the one hundred and fifty people who work with and around the team ".
"I am a born winner and I was here to conquer trophies", continues
Zidane
, "but beyond this are human beings, emotions, life and I have the feeling that these things have not been valued, that they have not been It is understood that this also maintains the dynamics of a great club. Even, in a certain way, I have been reproached.
Zidane
points
directly to the president of
Real Madrid
,
Florentino Pérez
: "I want to respect what we have done together," he asks, "I would have liked my relationship with the club and the president to have been a little different in recent months to that of other coaches. He was not asking for privileges, of course not, but a little more memory ".
"Today the life of a coach on the bench of a great club is two seasons, not much more," he says, "for it to last longer, human relationships are essential, they are more important than money, more important than fame , more important than everything. You have to take care of them. " And he criticizes: "That's why it hurt a lot when I read in the press, after a defeat, that they were going to kick me out if I didn't win the next game. It hurt me and the whole team because these messages were intentionally leaked to the media they created negative interference with the staff, they created doubts and misunderstandings. "
Zidane
ends his letter
with a message to journalists: "I have held hundreds of press conferences and unfortunately we have spoken very little about football and I know that you also love football, that this sport unites us," he argues, "however, Without pretending to criticize you or give you lessons, I would have liked that the questions were not always directed towards controversy, that we would have talked more often about the ball and above all about the players, who are and always will be the most important in this game ".
And he concludes with a wish: "Let's not forget football, let's take care of football."
