What is the reason Zidane left Real after his "1 0 2" achievement?
Coach Zinedine Zidane's decision to leave Real Madrid surprised many people. So why did the French strategist make this decision?
Less than 5 days after helping Real become the first club to win 3 consecutive Champions League titles, coach Zidane suddenly decided to resign. This decision of "Zizou" made many people feel surprised, even shocked.
This is considered completely understandable, because since leading Real in January 2016, Zidane has helped the Royal team win 1 La Liga championship, 1 Spanish Super Cup, 3 Champions League, 2 European Super Cups and 2 FIFA Club World Cups. Notably, in all the championship matches, the 45-year-old coach helped the Royal team win.
After Zidane decided to leave, many people wondered why the French strategist decided to give up the job that helped him reap countless glories.
According to the explanation of Marca (a newspaper close to Real), Zidane is a coach with a lot of personality. Most likely, he has encountered serious problems in the club's dressing room, including the future of midfielder Gareth Bale.
In the summer of 2013, Real broke the transfer record in the history of world football up to that time when spending 100 million euros to buy Bale from Tottenham. However, last season, Zidane often "banished" the Welsh winger to the bench.
Even for Zidane, Bale is only the 6th choice in the 3-man attack, after Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Isco, Lucaz Vazquez and Marco Asensio. Too frustrated with his position, the 28-year-old star is considering the possibility of leaving Real.

In addition, the possibility of Zidane having a conflict with Ronaldo is entirely possible. Remember, after the recent Champions League final against Liverpool, Ronaldo was visibly upset. Not stopping there, "CR7" also hinted at the possibility of leaving Real in this summer's transfer window.
Besides, Perez is impatient with coaches. Since being re-elected as Real President in May 2009, no coach has been used by the construction tycoon in the land of bulls for more than 3 years.
Specifically, Manuel Pellegrini, who led Real from 2009-2010, Jose Mourinho (2010-2013), Carlo Ancelotti (2013-2015), Rafael Benitez (2015-2016).
Despite winning the Champions League last season, Real Madrid performed quite poorly in the domestic arena. In addition to being eliminated early in the Copa del Rey, “Los Blancos” only finished in 3rd place in La Liga with 76 points after 38 matches, 17 points behind champions Barcelona and 3 points behind Atletico Madrid.
Certainly, being behind two "arch-rivals" in La Liga will not make Perez satisfied. After Zidane leaves, Perez will have to quickly start looking for a replacement.
