In one of the surprises of the summer, Zinedine Zidane has resigned as manager of Real Madrid less than a week after becoming the first manager in history to win the Champions League three times in a row.
His third -and Real Madrid's 13th- European title was the ninth trophy the Frenchman had won in his three-year stint at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Zidane won everything as a player with Real Madrid, retired and joined the backroom staff before returning to the fore as a manager and winning everything available... again. He leaves on a high with his legendary legacy completely intact.
With Los Blancos now managerless, they'll be searching for the ideal candidate to help usher in the new era of success, especially at a time when both Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale are reportedly leaving the club.
RealSport examine their options.
