From the news he says hes taking a break but I'd love to see him go to Italy and do some work there. 

Pep wannabe!

Absolute scenes if it is Wenger though.

 

I thought that straight away but with his Champions League record, I don't think Perez would be keen.

Wenger would certainly help them lock down fourth place

Mauricio Pochettino 3/1

Guti 6/1

Antonio Conte 8/1

Imagine Conte though, saying that Madrid must be prepared to "suffer" the week before El Clasico xD

Zidane's said similar things this season in fairness.

This just miffs me, I get going out on top but like... wow.

 

Wouldn't be shocked to see Wenger in there, but then again Lambert is free for the taking now :D

Doubt he'd ever go to Inter Milan anyways. He's a Juve man.

That's true but that doesn't rule him out from other teams in Serie A which could benefit from what he has learned at Real. He's a proven tournament-style coach now so maybe a big name in Italy at some point may come looking for his services. Be nice to see Serie A get some dominance in European competition again as well, not to say Zidane is the answer there its just a general comment.

Fat Sam, your time has finally come.

Well I’ll tell you something... More of a chance of that than Simeone getting the job. xD

I hope it's Wenger and they win the league and CL, restoring his reputation before he retires.

That or Pep goes there for a top 10 betrayal.

Even though I despise Real Madrid how amazing would it be if Wenger joined them and won the treble? ArsenalMongTV would absolutely explode.

That is my favourite scenario :D

You could see it coming to be honest. Real have been poor this season and the Champions League win pretty much saved the most disastrous season they have possibly had during my time. He will have seen this as the right time, as it's very difficult to maintain a winning mentality and continue winning trophies. He's done very well there however, far better than I thought he would and he's now a bigger icon and legend at Real than ever, having won everything with them both as a player and now manager. You've got to take your hat off to him.

 

It'll be interesting to see who  they get in and whether they go for an ex-player or not again, which always seems to work out in Spain these days.

Did he quit by himself or was he sacked (without letting the world know) due to their pathetic league performance?

That should be 1,000,000,000,000/1 and even then. 

Luis Enrique is listed as well ! I'd be a funny day in hell if one of the most hated ex-Real players became coach.

I wonder if he was feeling the pressure favouritising Benzema while benching names like Isco, Asensio, and Bale. There has to be a split dressing room, the young core vs. Ronaldo and his croonies.

The only reason Luis Enrique would coach Real is to get them relegated. That’s the disdain he has for that club.

I just checked a Spanish Real Madrid forum where they have a "who would you like the next manager to be" poll, and the most voted names are Poch, Klopp, Guti and Löw, in that order.

Interesting that many of their fans seem to want Klopp, another manager who would probably also be better for winning cups rather than the league.

Leaves the club on a high. 

Intelligent move. 

Not many managers leave Real Madrid by their own. So credit to him for doing it this way.

He probably feels no connection to Barcelona outside an irrational hatred of Real  xD

I really don't know if Zidane is a great coach or not. He is obviously talented enough to do well with Real Madrid but I have no idea how much help he gets from his staff. Having the deepest squad in the world also helps.
