Spanish giant Real Madrid has once again parted ways with their Manager, Zinedine Zidane after failing to win any trophy this season.

Zidane won three consecutive Champions League titles and a La Liga title in his first period as manager between 2016 and 2018 but left in May 2018 and returned 10 months later.

Since returning, Zidane has guided Los Blancos to a LaLiga Santander title and a Supercopa de Espana victory last season. However, after a difficult season which has ended without silverware at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano, Zidane has decided to step aside.
