Zinedine Zidane made the unexpected announcement on Thursday that he will be stepping down as head coach at the Santiago Bernabeu, just five days after winning a third Champions League in a row.
Zinedine Zidane says he does not plan to take on another coaching job immediately after leaving Real Madrid.
The former France star won nine major trophies in less than three years in charge of the club and has already been tipped as a possible replacement for Didier Deschamps after France’s World Cup campaign.
However, Zidane intends to take a break from the dugout before planning his next move.
“I’m not going to manage another side now,” he told a news conference. “I’m not looking for another team.”
