Zinedine Zidane parted ways with Real Madrid for the second time after the recently concluded league season despite having one more year on his deal.

Zidane has now revealed that he quit his role as Real's head coach because he felt he was no longer valued at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The World Cup winner ended his second stint at the Madrid cup trophyless having won three Champions League under two and a half years in his first stint.

"I'm going, but I'm not jumping overboard, nor am I tired of coaching. I'm leaving because I feel the club no longer has the faith in me I need, nor the support to build something in the medium or long term," he said.

"I understand football and I know the demands of a club like Real Madrid. I know when you don't win, you have to leave.

"I'm a natural-born winner and I was here to win trophies, but even more important than this are the people, their feelings, life itself and I have the sensation these things have not been taken into account," he added.

Despite his less glamorous second spell, Zidane won the La Liga title for Real in the previous season.

It remains unclear who the Frenchman will join following his departure, but reports suggest he is expected to take a break from management.

As for who replaces him at the helm of affairs, Antonio Conte has been touted as a clear favourite for the role.
