Zidane steps down as Real Madrid head coach in shock announcement

OMG! He does this at the height of his coaching career. Salute! The Frenchman, formerly coach of Real Madrid Castilla, was appointed as head coach of Real's first team in January 2016 after the dismissal of Rafa Benítez, and guided the club to the Champions League title by beating Atlético Madrid on penalties in the final. He won the Spanish league title in his second season, then became the first manager to win the Champions League in his first three seasons when Real defeated Juventus in the 2017 final, and Liverpool this month. "A change is needed. I'm not going to get involved in these things," he said when asked about a possible successor. "I'm not here to talk about the future of this team." https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/may/31/zinedine-zidane-real-madrid-manager-steps-down
