Why has Zinedine Zidane resigned from Real Madrid?
Real Madrid’s win was the third consecutive Champions League victory for head coach Zinedine Zidane, on top of one La Liga success since taking over in January 2016.

Zidane became Head Coach after Rafael Benitez was sacked, and had been in charge for 149 games.

His influence led Real to 104 wins and 29 draws, resulting in a 69.8 per cent win-rate and nine trophies for the club.
Despite this, the Spanish team came third in La Liga 2017-18, finishing 17 points behind winners and rivals Barcelona.

In February, the Frenchman said he would walk away from his position as Head Coach should he feel he had nothing left to give the team.

His decision to leave just five days after a third Champions League victory, however, has shocked fans.

Speaking to a news conference today, Zidane said, “Everything changes” which “ is why I took this decision.”

“I love this club,” he added. “What I think is that this team needs to continue winning but I think it needs a change, a different voice, another methodology.”
