I don?t understand Allegri. He was waiting for Zidane?s decision in order to pursue Real Madrid, but as soon as Zidane decides to leave Allegri allegedly signs with Juve.

Fabrizio Romano:

"Allegri has just decided to accept becaude Real Madrid were still taking time after Zinedine Zidane decided to leave the club"

Guillem Ballague confirmed it too in his article on Zidane's resignation.
Too much smoke, there must be some fire behind it

Balague doesn't confirm things, much less personal feelings of Zidane which exist in his head only until he talks about them publically.
Bogus until a reputable source, either Zidane himself or someone close to him, puts weight to it.

TBH just another spin on the whole story of 'Zidane has been frustrated for months leading up to sacking' where everyone is coming out with reasons behind his mood and most is taken as fact.

Doubt he's pushed from the club, probably decided to lay low for a while. Wonderful coach, imo, even if not the best fit for young squads in rebuild.

Don't know if it does. But could certainly be a problem with Mbappe. I'm not sure if he'd let himself get locked into a contract or the remainder of his prime either. Probably wants competition.

Would be a big time bummer to lose Zidane, and possibly Ramos-Varane duo to them all in one go. But I think there's a lot of dreaming going around the media, would be way too difficult to make happen I think

Massive loss for Real Madrid. The players loved him. That chemistry between players and a coach in modern football is so difficult to find. Next coach has huge shoes to fill.

Dont think it is a massive loss for them for where they are at moment.

Zidane comes across as nothing great tactically or innovative but a very good man manager who top players respect.

Real are at stage their squad is weak and old and they need someone who can give more tactically and build a new team.

Poch will leave PSG and Zidane goes there is my guess. Has stars that suit him, has won CLs and is a huge name which they always like for a bit of marketing.

This man is a straight up legend. Even though I am a Barca fan I cannot help but respect him as a player and manager.
If Klopp or Pep had won, 3 straight cls the media would have anointed him as the greatest of all time. Zidane wins three on the trot and media acts like it never happened lol.
Weird world we live in.

Rightfully goes to show that titles aren't everything.

Out of those 3, 1 only where Madrid can argue and say that they had been the best club in Europe in that season.. Zidane is extremely inconsistent and does not create anything special from the perspective of a match viewer .. Moutinho has good defensive tactics that some people admire and Pep has control and tiki taka

Laughable claim.
