An AS report claimed Zidane told club leaders at the end of business on Wednesday, before addressing his players one by one by message to inform  them that he was leaving the bench.

An official statement from the club is expected in the coming days, as Zidane, whose contract was till 2022, ends his second spell as manager of the side.

Former Juventus manager, Massimiliano Allegri is said to be the favourite to be the next manager at the Bernabeu.

Antonio Conte, who also on Wednesday left Serie A giants Inter Milan after leading them to the title, is also a possible replacement for Zidane.
