Zidane left Real Madrid because club had ‘no faith’ in him

Al Jazeera  

Former France international stepped down last week after Real suffered their first trophy-less season in 11 years. Zinedine Zidane stepped down as Real Madrid coach because the club had “no faith” in him. “Right now, things are different … I’m leaving because I feel the club no longer has the faith in me I need, nor the support to build something in the medium or long term,” Zidane wrote, with the 48-year-old adding he deserved more recognition from the club for his work. “It hurt me and it hurt the squad because these messages that were intentionally leaked to the media created negative interference within the team.” Following Zidane’s departure on Thursday, Real Madrid said it respected his decision and expressed its “gratitude for his professionalism, dedication and passion over the years and what he means to Real Madrid”. Zidane ”is aware that he has a place in the hearts of the Real Madrid fans and that he will always have a home at Real Madrid”, the club added.
