BREAKING: Zinedine Zidane has resigned from his position as manager of Real Madrid. Zidane's departure comes after the team's recent disappointing performance in the UEFA Champions League, where they were eliminated in the semi-finals by Chelsea. Zidane cited a need for a new challenge as the reason for his decision.
Zidane, 49, is a former French international footballer who had a successful playing career with both Real Madrid and the French national team. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time. After retiring from playing in 2006, Zidane began his coaching career with Real Madrid's reserve team in 2014. He was promoted to manager of the first team in 2016 and led the team to three consecutive Champions League titles in 2016, 2017, and 2018.
Zidane also won the La Liga title twice and the Supercopa de España twice during his time at Real Madrid. He is the first manager to win three consecutive Champions League titles.
Zidane's resignation comes as a surprise to many, as he had only recently signed a new contract with Real Madrid until 2023. However, it is clear that Zidane felt that it was time for a new challenge.
Real Madrid has not yet announced who will replace Zidane as manager. However, several potential candidates have been linked with the job, including former Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri and former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino.
