In the Santiago Bernabeu press conference, Zinedine Zidane announced say goodbye to the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday, only five days after helping the team win the Champions League for the third time in a row. Strangely, a few hours later, all of Real's players say goodbye to Zizou, except Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale and ... Cristiano Ronaldo.

The 45-year-old took over Real Madrid after Rafael Benitez was sacked in January 2016. He led the White Vulture in 149 games with 104 wins, 29 draws, a 69.8% winning performance. But in just two and a half years, Zidane has won nine trophies, including the unprecedented success of winning three consecutive Champions League titles.

At the press conference this afternoon, Zidane clarified his future by saying, "I love this club. What I think this team needs to continue to win, but I need to change, another voice, another method. And that's why I made this decision. "

The press coverage was reported by the Guardian on the spot:

Zidane, with jeans and blue jackets, says something that no one wants to hear or believe: "I made the decision not to continue to coach Real Madrid next season."

"It's a good time for everyone, sounds a little weird, but it has to be done for the benefit of everyone, the players, the club and myself. and need a change after three years, another voice, another method of work. "

"Real Madrid has given me everything. I will be forever with this club, my club."

Looking at Florentino Perez, Zidane said: "I made this decision because I love this club, I love it (Florentino Perez) and I am grateful to him."

Zidane insisted he "did not forget the hard time" and insisted to the Madridistas: "Of course, I can come back, I will always be near this club because it is close to my heart. I think many people will not understand but I know it is the right time. It's time to change. And for the players too. "

The reporter asked Zidane if his departure had anything to do with Ronaldo. "No!" Said Zidane.

Should Zidane resign if he loses the Champions League final in Kiev or not. "I do not know," said Zidane. Maybe.

Then he disappeared behind the wing leaving disappointment for chairman Florentino Perez and the confused mood of the visiting journalists.

Facing the press conference, chairman Florentino Perez was still emotional, even if he knew what his captain would say. "This is a totally unexpected decision. Zidane informed me his choice yesterday "

Zidane's resignation came after Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo complained about their future at the Bernabeu. Bale was unhappy with the substitution, and Ronaldo said after the final in Kiev that he would soon announce his future. But Zidane claims that his decision to leave has nothing to do with Ronaldo.

Chairman Florentino Perez will have to choose his new manager, coach 4 for 5 years. But perhaps the former candidates are now in place. Mauricio Pochettino is a brilliant candidate but has now grown up with Tottenham. Antonio Conte is not sure whether Chelsea will come out or not. Senior coach Arsene Wenger has retired, while Mauricio Sarri has not had any landing. Carlo Ancelotti joined Napoli.

It is rumored that Guti will be the Perez man until the former Real midfielder is coaching the club's 19 U.

Real Madrid are fierce with the French coach so the candidate could be Didier Deschamps. The problem is that Perez can not wait until early July to see if the French coach is available.

At this point, people suddenly remember another Frenchman, also very talented on the training band: Laurent Blanc. Yes, the 52-year-old won three league titles in PSG (from 2014-2016) will be the brightest candidate on Perez's list if he is not attracted to Chelsea this week.
