Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid star rubbish reports about summer exit from club

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane and Nacho Fernandez have slammed media rumours that he has told players he is leaving the club this summer.

The Frenchman was reported to have informed the Los Blancos squad of his intention to walk away from the club at the end of the season regardless of how the campaign ends.

However, following Zidane’s on denial of the rumoured meeting, Nacho added his voice to the claims of media gossip surrounding the Los Blancos manager’s future at the club.

“News has come out that he told us something in a talk,” he told a post match interview with Marca.

“I don’t know anything about this, the coach has a contract here and he is fine with us, but it’s a decision he and the club will make.”

Meanwhile, Zidane himself told Marca: “How am I going to tell the players that I am leaving now, if we ‘risk our lives’ and I say I am leaving?.”

“You can tell the stories that you want, I will never say this to my players.

“At the end of the season we will see, but now I’m with them for the last game.”
