Zinedine Zidane has announced his resignation as Real Madrid coach five days after the club’s Champions League win.
Zidane, 45, told a news conference at the Bernabeu Stadium he had “taken the decision not to continue next year”.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez was present alongside Zidane, who took charge in January 2016.
He leaves having guided the Spanish club to three successive Champions League titles and one La Liga success.
The former french footballer took over management of the club in January 2016 after the dismissal of Rafa Benítez.
“I love this club… What I think is that this team needs to continue winning but I think it needs a change, a different voice, another methodology. And that’s why I took this decision,” he said.
More soon.
