MADRID: Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane dropped a bombshell Thursday, quitting the Spanish giants just days after winning the Champions League for a record third year in a row. "I have taken the decision to not continue next year as Real Madrid coach," the Frenchman told a hastily convened press conference. He was flanked at the press conference by Real Madrid president Florentino Perez who said Zidane's announcement was "totally unexpected". But Zidane won the confidence of players and the rest is history. The next step for the former Real Madrid star player is unclear but he has time on his side.
