Zinidine Zidane has stepped down as Real Madrid coach days after the club's Champions League win.
Zidane has spoken to Sergio Ramos, who supports him, and has sent a message to the rest of the squad. He says he doesn’t have plans to coach next season. If anyone has earned a long lie down, it’s him.
He also mentions that he’s pretty tired, which tallies with this, as he said a few months ago: ““Being a coach is extremely tiring – more so at a club like Real Madrid, When I feel there is nothing more to give, I’ll walk away.”
Zidane has repeated the line that he thinks change is required. “Big players need change,” he says. Which is true enough.
