"I have taken the decision to not continue next year as Real Madrid coach," the Frenchman told a hastily convened press conference. Real beat Liverpool 3-1 in the final in Kiev on Saturday, making Zidane the first coach in history to win three successive Champions League titles. At the press conference Zidane was flanked by Real Madrid president Florentino Perez who said Zidane's announcement was "totally unexpected". "Your legacy will never be erased, one of the most successful chapters in the history of our beloved Real Madrid," he added in a Twitter message. The next step for the former Real Madrid star player is unclear but he has time on his side.
