MADRID: Zinedine Zidane resigned as Real Madrid manager because he felt the Spanish club no longer had any confidence in him, he wrote in an open letter today.
âIâm leaving because I feel the club no longer has the faith in me I need, and doesnât offer me the support to build something in the medium or long term,â the Frenchman wrote in the letter published in the sports daily AS.
âI am a born winner and I was here to win trophies, but beyond this there are human beings, emotions, life and I have the feeling that these things have not been valued, that it has not been understood that this is also how the dynamic of a great club is maintained,â he said.
âBut everything I built on a daily basis, what I brought to the relationship with the players… has been forgotten.â
âIâm leaving, but Iâm not jumping ship and Iâm not tired of coaching,â he said.
Real had a disappointing season, having been beaten to the La Liga title by Atletico Madrid.
