Boardroom fight prompted to the resignation of Zidane

Reports have emerged that former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane resigned due to a conflict over signing of  Eden Hazard and David De Gea.

The club’s president Florentino Perez was looking to sign David De Gea while Zidane wanted Eden Hard but the president refused.

The debate between Zidane and Perez went on prompting the boss to leave.

Perez is famously hands-on when it comes to signing players at Real, instigating the first Galactico era of Zidane himself, Luis Figo, Ronaldo and David Beckham during his initial term as Real president.

And he may also have been considering resignation anyway because the only way was down.

But it appears that Perez’s determination to go his own way on transfers was the tipping point.

Ironically, Zidane was linked with the vacant manager’s job at Chelsea where he might have got his wish to coach Hazard.

But fellow Frenchman Laurent Blanc is now the favourite to succeed Antonio Conte at Stamford Bridge.
