Leeds chairman's tv company bought the uk rights.

No news how they are showing it as they have no channel in the UK yet.

They do over the top broadcasting in most other markets they have. I can still see it being on sky though, just sub let the rights through eleven sports. Most over the top sports doesn't seem to work as well over here, remember the days of PPV football for the 12 o clock kick offs or when england have those qualifying matches in butfuckingnowhere-tonia and the rights get bought by some fella in a shed with a server? Never ends up being profitable or working.

Immense send off for Iniesta, they're playing music from the Gladiator [the part when Maximus is going to meet his wife in heaven]

Hope it's not the last we see of La Liga on sky. Besides Liverpool matches it's all I've watched the last couple of years.

If that's the end then they've got a good run out of it the last 20 odd years. Seen some of the best players of all time in there.

Absolute shocker of a tackle on Dembele

Remember several years ago when he used to miss every single one and no one wanted him to shoot.

Now he's absolutely incredible. What a player.

I do, every single one he tried he skied. Until 14-15 season: he started putting them in with regularity.

I'm glad I missed that or I definitely would have cried a tear for him.

A wonderful footballer and a great man. Football will miss him.

So Zidane's called an unscheduled press conference for noon. Speculation is that he could be off...

Of course, it might be a new contract, but it'd be a surprise to announce that at a conference without leaking/briefing the usual friendly sources first.

On holiday. If he leaves it'll be because he's knackered physically and mentally.

I was going to suggest he looks old, but he looked old at 28. In fact, thought he looked better on the sideline the other night than during his playing days.

It might be the ultimate mic drop: 2.5 years as manager, 3 European Cups, fuck y'all, I'm outta here.

If I were him I'd just retire from management now. The squad will need an overhaul in the near future and it's not getting better than 3 European Cups in a row.

Adam_LFC · « **Reply #3933 on:** May 31, 2018, 11:50:09 am »

Wonder who they would even replace him with? No one really good enough available, and they will need a big rebuild soon.

rafathegaffa83 · « **Reply #3934 on:** May 31, 2018, 11:51:29 am »

Seems to be some talk that Guti (one of the last players I ever thought would have stepped into management) could replace him if he quits

National team job? After the inevitable French fuck up.

Coaching those clubs looks easy on the outside but even when successful, coaches are quick to get away.

Navas will likely be one of the first out the door, as Zidane has been exceptionally loyal to him. Courtois to probably replace him

He would atleast carry authority with the players...

Another player likely impacted this resignation: Eden Hazard. It seems as though most of Madrid's interest in him was because of Zidane

Zidane: "This is the right moment for everyone, it might seem a bit strange, but it had to be done for the good of everyone, the players, the club, and myself. This team must keep winning, and it needs a change after three years, another voice, another method of working."

Rumours say Zidane won't stay one more season because he doesn't want to, no matter if he wins the CL or not.

That is from February. It looked funny back at the time for some people, I guess not so much right now

Zinedine Zidane: Real Madrid boss stands down five days after Champions League win

Quote

Zinedine Zidane says he is stepping down as Real Madrid boss, just five days after leading them to a third straight Champions League triumph.

Zidane, 45, told a news conference at the Bernabeu Stadium he had "taken the decision not to continue next year".

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez was present alongside Zidane, who took charge in January 2016.

He leaves having guided the Spanish club to three successive Champions League titles and one La Liga success.

No chance on this planet would Conte be a success there. He won't massage egos, so they'd chew him up and spit him out after 6 months.
