Zinedine Zidane Resigns As Real Madrid Manager

After a disappointing season which saw Real Madrid end their campaign without a major trophy, Zinedine Zidane has resigned as manager of the Spanish side with immediate effect.

According to Sportsmail, Zidane would have walked away from the club regardless of whether they secured the title after Zidane sensed for some time that he did not have the backing of the club’s president, Florentino Perez.

According to reports from Spanish publication, AS, Zidane has already informed both the club’s directors and the first team squad that he has left the club.

The Frenchman had won three Champions Leagues in the Spanish capital.

He also guided Madrid to the LaLiga title last season but they were unable to repeat the feat this time around in a trophy-less campaign after struggling with injuries and an ageing squad.

They lost in the Champions League semi-final against Chelsea and were also dumped out of the Copa del Rey at the round of 32 stage.

Zidane is expected to be an immediate target for Juventus or the France national team following his departure from the Bernabeu. Follow us on Instagram @sofovilla | Follow us on Twitter @sofovilla | Like our page on Facebook via @sofovillamedia
