"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.
"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.
"There has been a failure to understand that these things also keep the dynamics of a great club going. To some extent I have even been rebuked for it."

Despite his less glamorous second spell, Zidane won the La Liga title for Real before leaving at the end of the 2020-21 season.
