Confirmed, Zidane is leaving Real. Will Conte take over?
He lost the fight for the league title to Atletico Madrid, in the Champions League he failed in the semifinals at Chelsea London. His contract with the Spanish club was to last until June 2022.
“I am a born winner and I was here to win trophies with the team. But in addition, football is also about people, emotions and I have the impression that these things were not appreciated, that no one realized that big clubs maintain their dynamism.
Well, everything I built here and worked on a daily basis, which I brought towards a relationship with the players, all seemed to be forgotten.
I’m leaving, but I’m not jumping off the boat and I’m not even tired of training, “Zidane said in an open letter.
