Coach Zinadine Zidane’s resignation from Real Madrid on Thursday surprised fans, football administrators and footballers across the world. They found it hard to believe that a tactician can quit just a week after winning his third consecutive UEFA Champions League trophy.
For the two and a half years Zidane was at the helm at Santiago Bernabéu, he won nine trophies. While Zidane had a stranglehold on the continental titles of UEFA Champions League and UEFA Super Cup, and the Fifa Club World Cup, he was locked out of the domestic league, LaLiga by Barcelona.
