Zinedine Zidane has resigned from his post as Real Madrid manager, having won three consecutive Champions League titles, and the 2016-17 Liga title

French football legend, Zinedine Zidane, has on Thursday announced his departure from the UEFA Champions League winner after two-and-half years in charge.

While speaking in a news conference today, he said; “I’ve taken the decision to not continue next year as Real Madrid coach.

“This is the right moment for everyone, it might seem a bit strange, but it had to be done for the good of everyone, the players, the club, and myself.

“This team must keep winning, and it needs a change after three years, another voice, another method of working.”

Zidane claimed an unprecedented third consecutive Champions League title when Real Madrid beat Liverpool 3-1 on Saturday, capping a remarkable period in his first job in senior club management.

Zidane was appointed as Real Madrid boss in January 2016 and took charge of Madrid 149 times. He won 105 of those games, and as well as three Champions League titles, he also enjoyed success in La Liga in 2016-17.
