Breaking zinedine zidane resigns as real madrid coach

Zinedine Zidane, the legendary French footballer and former Real Madrid player, has resigned as the head coach of Real Madrid, effective immediately. This shocking news comes after a tumultuous season for the Spanish giants, who have struggled to find consistency and have fallen behind in the La Liga title race.

Zidane, who was appointed as Real Madrid's coach in 2016, has led the team to numerous successes, including three consecutive Champions League titles from 2016 to 2018. However, his second stint as coach, which began in 2019, has been marked by inconsistency and disappointment.

The 49-year-old coach has been under intense pressure in recent weeks, with the team's performances on the pitch failing to meet expectations. Real Madrid has won only two of its last five La Liga matches, and has been eliminated from the Champions League at the round of 16 stage.

Zidane's resignation comes as a surprise, as he had previously stated his commitment to the team and had been expected to lead Real Madrid to a successful season. However, it appears that the pressure and stress of the job have taken their toll on the coach.

In a statement, Zidane said: "I have thought about it a lot and I have decided to leave the club. I have thought about my future and I have decided that it is best for me to leave. I want to thank the club, the players, and the fans for their support during my time here."

Real Madrid's president, Florentino Pérez, has also released a statement, saying: "We are sad to see Zidane go, but we understand his decision. We want to thank him for his dedication and commitment to the club. We will now begin the process of finding a new coach to lead the team."

Zidane's resignation marks the end of an era at Real Madrid, and it remains to be seen who will take over as coach of the team.
