When a season comes to an end, they are all questions. And if the flavor that remains is bitter, as is the case with Real Madrid after their elimination against City, the unknowns are bigger. Above all, if one of them, the continuity of the coach, is not assured.
And that is what Zidane caused after his press conference at the Etihad Stadium: doubts. The Frenchman did not want to ensure 100% his presence on the bench during the next campaign and the fans remembered the episode of Kiev 2018 when, without prior notice, the Frenchman ended his time as a coach after having won a new Champions League.
They do not want in the club – neither in the offices nor in the stands – that Zidane breaks the schemes again by taking the door, but after his not reassuring words, there is already the fear that history will repeat itself. At that time he claimed that, with that squad, nothing more could be won. A squad that, a year later, inherited it again, tried to remodel it without much success, and conquered the most atypical League in history.
Time is short
The decision, therefore, is still in the air. The fact that Zidane did not assure anything in Manchester proves it and, in Madrid, before a calendar that does not stop and a start to the League closer than ever, they do not rule out anything.
Thus, time is short and, as the dates pass and Zidane maintains his silence, the white team will be able to continue breathing calmly -in the offices and in the stands. The concern will enter if, as it happened in 2018, Florentino Pérez's phone rings and on the other side is Zidane closing his second stage.
