At noon on May 27th, a shocking news quickly spread in the football world: Real Madrid Football Club officially announced that the team's soul figure Zinedine Zidane will no longer serve as the team's head coach. In this statement, Real Madrid officials expressed full respect for Zidane's personal decision, and his years of professional ethics, selfless dedication and interpretation of the team's spirit to give high praise.
Real Madrid official further emphasized that Zidane is not only an important symbol of the club, whether in the player era or coaching career, his legend has long exceeded the personal achievements. At the end of the statement, Real Madrid officials said fondly, Real Madrid will always be the home of Zidane's heart.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time Zidane has taken the initiative to leave Real Madrid. Back in early 2016, Zidane took over the Real Madrid coaching whip, just two and a half years, he led the team to conquer nine trophies, including three UEFA Champions League trophies, a new record since the reform of the Champions League, and won the La Liga League title, two Club World Cup champions, as well as two UEFA Super Cup champions.
Just when it was widely believed that Zidane would lead Real Madrid to create more glory, in May 2018, Zidane suddenly announced his resignation. Subsequently, Real Madrid urgently poached from the Spanish national team, and even for leaking the news of Zidane's joining, which led to the termination of the contract of the Spanish national team with the original manager right before the World Cup.
In March 2019, Zinedine Zidane became the head coach of Real Madrid for the second time, but this coaching experience is not as smooth as the first time. Although in the first season, he led the team to win the league and the Spanish Premier League double, but the team in the four major cup competitions this season, this "empty-handed" situation is also seen by many as a key factor in Zidane's choice to leave.
