Just in: Zidane decides to leave Real Madrid

Barcelona’s problems on the sidelines are well known to the footballing world as Ronald Koeman’s future hangs in the balance. However, news coming out of the Spanish capital, Madrid, as reported by the ever-reliable Fabrizio Romano states that Zinedine Zidane has decided to leave Real Madrid with immediate effect.

During this tenure with Madrid, Zidane has proven to be a huge nuisance for not only Barcelona but clubs across Europe, moulding a team dismantling the best. Proof lies in his three-peat of the UEFA Champions League, two La Ligas, and much more.

As Joan Laporta goes in the search of a new manager, he is bound to be relieved by the resignation of Zidane. Former Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has been touted to replace the Frenchman at the helm while club legend Raul is on the cards as well.

A huge summer for Spanish football awaits, with Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid the only team looking set and ready to retain the La Liga throne.
