Seems Zidane has resigned to take time-off and will be announced in a press conference at 1pm. Bet Pochettino is kicking himself signing that contract now! Might put Chelsea’s management plans up in the air too....
To take time off apparently. I do find it funny how he can be exhausted after being there for 2 seasons when the like of Ferguson and Wenger were there for 20+.
I expect he knew, or at least had enough of a tip off to make it a serious consideration before signing on a Spuds again. Who knows, his new contract might even specifically have a release clause to enable him to go to Real Madrid for a set fee during the close season.
Get your money on Bale to stay there now (whats the odds this post comes back and bites me in the bum)
If he doesn't chainsmoke, cause chasms in his squad or hasn't managed at least 7 teams in Serie C it's a no from me.
I don't think either him or Real would be too bothered by a new contract to be fair - can easily buy him out of it if he's their man. I'm not sure who'll be Zidane's successor, I'd love for Wenger to get it and win the CL, causing Arsenal Fan TV to implode.
Surprise choice for Madrid: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44459380 Wonder if the Madrid players in the Spain squad had a word or two in support of their manager ..
