League titles with the La Liga side.
Zidane's decision to step down at Real
Madrid comes after he led his side to the another Champions League victory

Zidane was brought in to replace Raphael Benitez in January 2016, and has led the Madrid side

in charge.
According to several reports Zidane's
decision to quit was a result of event after the Champions League final in
