Zinedine Zidane has renounced his position as Real Madrid’s manager and has called it a day on his triumphant stint at the club. He leaves the club a hero after having taken Los Blancos to 3 successive UEFA Champions League titles.
Speaking at the Press Conference, Zidane said,
“I’ve taken the decision to not continue next year as #RealMadrid Coach. I made this decision because I love this club, I love (Florentino Perez) and I am grateful towards him.”
His resignation came as a surprise as everything was going good for him and his team.
Let’s take a look at the 2 possible reasons why Zidane has left Real Madrid
1. He leaves the club a hero
After facing a lot of criticism at the start of the season for not being a tactical crackerjack, the Frenchman turned the club’s fortune around with a third consecutive Champions League title.
It is best to leave the club on a high and Zidane knows it best
2. Fresh Challnges and Experiment
Zidane took over at Real Madrid as an interim manager. Now he has signed out of the greatest interim stint ever in the history of the club. However, you can’t fault Zidane for wanting to break out of his comfort zone.
The margin for error at such a big club is minimal as well. Hence, it makes sense for Zidane to move out of the Santiago Bernabeu and shore up at a club where he can get clued up from his own slip-ups and go on to become meticulous in his methods.
