"It's A Lie": Zinedine Zidane Denies Telling Players He Will Leave Real Madrid At End Of Season

Zinedine Zidane denied telling Real Madrid players that he would resign as coach at the end of the current La Liga season.

Zinedine Zidane has denied already telling his players he will resign as Real Madrid coach at the end of the season. Zidane was asked again about his future after Madrid's 1-0 victory away at Athletic Bilbao on Sunday, a win that keeps them two points behind leaders Atletico Madrid heading into La Liga's final weekend. According to Onda Cero radio and Goal online earlier on Sunday, Zidane, who has a contract until 2022, informed his squad a week ago that he was going to leave after the team's final game next weekend. But Zidane said in Sunday's post-match press conference that was not the case.  "How am I going to tell my players that I am going now? It's a lie," he said.
