Zidane's agent, Alain Migliaccio, explains why his client ended up quitting Los Blancos at the conclusion of last season

Zinedine Zidane's agent, Alain Migliaccio, has explained the motive behind his client's unexpected exit from Real Madrid. At the end of last season the French coach abandoned the reigning Champions League champions despite having time left to run on his contract. This caused many people to speculate as to the reasons behind his exit.

"He was emotionally drained. He chose to spend a year out and he isn't going to go back on that," Migliaccio told Journal du Dimanche. "I don't believe he will go to England, it isn't his style. I've spoken with him and the truth is it doesn't appeal to him." However, one job might lure Zidane back to the dugout. "Juventus? It's a possibility because there's a history behind that, it's the club of his heart."

The fact that Zidane is currently without a club has meant he's been linked with a host of elite clubs going through tough spells. Manchester United and Bayern Munich are the two biggest names with Jose Mourinho and Nico Kovac respectively under pressure.
