Real Madrid right now must be feeling a bit like Materazzi felt when he got head butted in the chest by Zidane.
Taken by surprise and a bit stunned.
Zizou,after taking Real Madrid to an unprecedented three Champion’s League titles in a row has called it quits.
He is saying goodbye and good luck and heading off to other pastures.
I am doing this for the good of this team, for this club.It would have been difficult for me to win again next year. There have been good moments, but also difficult times. I do not forget that. And at this club you must know this: I do not want to start a season and have a bad time, I want to end with Real Madrid when everything is going well. I did it as a player, and now again as a coach. This the right moment to end things well.”
Go figure.
