ZINEDINE ZIDANE shocked the world when he announced he was leaving Real Madrid today.
The Frenchman resigned despite leading the Galacticos to a third consecutive Champions League triumph less than a week ago.
In fact, the 45-year-old has never NOT won Europe’s biggest prize in any of his season’s charge.
Club president Florentino Perez confirmed Zidane came to see him yesterday to break the “completely shocking” news to him.
Perez admitted it was a “sad day” for the club, but insisted he “will be back” — and sentiment Zidane later echoed himself.
However, the former Ballon d’Or-winner admitted he is leaving because he feels the club have endured a difficult season.
The resignation came as a huge surprise to everybody.
And as expected, Twitter exploded after he announcement.
