Manager Zinedine Zidane has resigned from Real Madrid for the second time in his coaching career.
Real failed to win a trophy this season and were pipped to the La Liga title by city rivals Atletico Madrid on a dramatic final day on Saturday.
Real said in a statement that they “must now respect” Zidane’s decision.
They thanked Zidane, 48, for his “professionalism, dedication and passion over the years and what he means to Real Madrid”.
Former France forward Zidane, who played for Real from 2001 to 2006, won three consecutive Champions League titles and a La Liga title in his first period as manager between 2016 and 2018.
He left in May 2018, but returned 10 months later and secured a second La Liga title last season.
“Zidane is one of Real Madrid’s great icons and his legacy extends beyond what he has achieved as a coach and player at our club,” Real said.
“He is aware that he has a place in the hearts of the Real Madrid fans and that he will always have a home at Real Madrid.”
Real finished two points behind Atletico in La Liga as they failed to win a trophy for the first time since 2009-10.
He is the only manager to win the Champions League three times, and his trophy haul at Real also included two Club World Cups, two Uefa Super Cups and two Spanish Super Cups.
