Zinedine Zidane will end his second stint with Real Madrid as he has decided to leave the Spanish club with immediate effect. Many believed it to be on the cards after Real Madrid failed to win a trophy for the first time in 11 seasons.
They lost out to rivals Atletico Madrid in a La Liga title race that went to the final day. Real were also knocked out of the Champions League by Chelsea in the semi-finals.
Zidane had returned to Real Madrid in March 2019, replacing Santiago Solari, and won his second La Liga title in the Covid-affected 2019-20 season. In his first stint at the club from January 2016 to May 2018, Zidane won three Champions League titles and the 2016-17 Spanish league.
