Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane dropped a bombshell today, quitting the Spanish giants just days after winning the Champions League for a record third year in a row.
The 45-year-old former international decided to quit at the top saying that it was time for a change for himself and the club and admitting he was unsure of his ability to maintain his winning record at Real.
But he said that no other club was involved in his decision to part ways with Real and although experts have linked him to the French national team coaching job, Zidane insisted he is eyeing no other position at this time.
"I have taken the decision to not continue next year as Real Madrid coach," the Frenchman told a hastily convened press conference.
"This club deserves to continue to win and needs a change" he said, adding that he believed the "moment has come."
"This house will be his family forever, he triumphed and won everything, as you know. I thank him for his commitment, his passion. I have no doubt that he will return."
