Zinedine Zidane has walked away from Real Madrid, only five days after winning a third consecutive Champions League. The Frenchman announced his decision at the Valdebebas training ground on Thursday afternoon.
Zidane had been due to discuss plans for the coming season – the plans that would include the futures of Gareth Bale and Ronaldo, both of whom had suggested they would leave immediately after the Champions League final. Instead, it is the manager who walks away.
The players of Real Madrid including the former captain Iker Casillas gave a heart-whelming tribute to Zidane through social media.
