Zidane threatens to quit Real Madrid coaching job

Zidane

In just two months of making a sensational return to Real Madrid, French tactician, Zinedine Zidane, has issued a red alert statement that he might quit the job if not giving the full authority to select the players that makes his team.

There has been plenty of speculation regarding whether the club have told him who they want and who they don’t want in the squad next season, especially in the goalkeeper position.

“I will decide who will be the first and second choice goalkeepers,” Zidane told the press. “It’s my decision. It’s as clear as water. If I can’t do what I want with my team, I will leave, that’s for sure.

“Then there are people who sign players and we do that together. But the starting 11, the bench, those that aren’t in the squad, that’s only for me to decide.”

There were reports in the media that Keylor Navas has been told he can leave Los Blancos this summer, but Zidane denied any official decision has been made.
