Zinedine Zidane has announced his resignation as Real Madrid head coach.
Zidane leaves Real Madrid after winning three Champions League titles in two-and-a-half years at the Bernabeu.
The Frenchman informed president Florentino Perez of his decision to quit earlier this morning.
He said: “I’ve taken the decision to not continue next year as Real Madrid coach.
“The decision was first to Florentino, then to the squad it was a strange decision but an important moment, it had to be done for everybody.
“This team has to continue winning and has to change, after three years they need a new voice a new way of saying things, perhaps a new way of working.
“I love this club, I love the president who has given me the chance to come as a player and then a manager and I am eternally grateful to him.
“But today, we have to change and that is why I am taking this decision.”
