Better for Zidane to leave on a high than to get sacked next season for failing to win the double

I bet Conte is waiting for a call right now. Tottenham are apparently worried about Poch.

Zidane is a clever man. Next season even winning the league wouldn't be enough after such a legendary CL run. And at some point the luck is gonna run out. He managed RM well, but Bale is unhappy, Ronaldo is a year older every year, and Ramos can't singlehandedly keep the defense up forever. Best to get out on a high, and let someone else try to renew the team

Yeah Conte is early favorite which is good news for Chelsea, might be able to get some compensation for him now and go full ADL on Real lol.

Meanwhile Sarri after tonight can offer his resignation and then only has to pay €1.5million fine then can sign for Chelsea who then save €7million odd.

Right decision by Zidane. Highly unlikely to find similar success next season, so quit while you are ahead.

Real gonna go all out on the transfer market this summer. New coach, key players are getting older and Bale/Ronaldo are unhappy. They will overspent on world cup sensations again.

Heh, what was their shopping list last time?

Navas and James at least, I think. Anyone else?

Yeh spent like crazy money on James Rodriguez who was average at best when he rocked up in Madrid. Navas was ok but they never really wanted him it seems and every summer they are linked with De Gea.

Ahhh right Zidane is "forced" out it seems, fallen out with players. Must have been Bale and Ronaldo as seen in the aftermath of the final.

Marca reporting it and so have a few english talkshows/sites

I don't read that as forced out. Not that story at least.

When does that "building" process finish? He has been there 3 seasons, that is my argument. 3 Seasons, 0 trophies, £300million plus worth of talent bought into the club, nothing to show for it yet.

Mourinho normally done and dusted after 3 seasons at a club remember in that time normally has won the league and a few trophies xD
Just using as an example of time frame.


Yea of course mourinho can achieve that when he inherits a good squad (or spends big in Chelsea 1.0 case). You can't compare mourinho success with klopp because their circumstances are different. United is probably similar but no one thinks he is successful at the moment despite 2 cup wins in the first season (in which he was backed much better financially).

Also in his first season, klopp did not buy a single first team player because he replaced Rodgers in October. Technically he should be judged only for 2 full seasons.

So once again, klopp starts off with a shit squad, so it's unreasonable to expect trophies immediately, though he should have won at least once in the 3 chances he had. At this rate of rebuilding, success should come soon enough. He should be given 2-3 more years to win something big. That's when he should be judged.

They are saying Bale and Ronaldo were not happy with how he treated them, Ronaldo wants out now and Bale wants assurances. I am reading between the lines a bit :D

Smart move from Zidane I feel. Apart from the CL he didn't have the best of seasons, and he was always in fear of getting sacked. (At least that is what I feel is the case with RM) You feel someone who brought them the double the previous year would get a little more credit.

I agree. The team finished #3 in la liga with lot of draws and looses against small teams. And Leganés eliminated them in the Cup at 2 legs.

Zidane knows the team has problems and that he can't depend on winning CL forever.

Oh fuck, Chelsea just announced they are putting the stadium plans on hold citing;

The decision was made due to the current unfavourable investment climate


Oh my, i hope this is some sorta master plan from Roman because he isn't getting his visa and not for any other reason

It's going to be fucking hilarious if Wenger takes over from Zidane.

Wow, I didn't expect that.

No way Madrid gets Conte, not with Florentino. Zidane to Juve? Allegri has been there for a while and it's kind of the end of a cycle there. I don't see him wanting to coach the national team that young, he'll want to coach a few clubs before that while he's at the top.
