Friends admit 'tired' Zidane ready to walk away from Real Madrid

Confidants of Zinedine Zidane have confirmed he is thinking about leaving Real Madrid at the end of the season.

The French coach penned terms to 2020 earlier this season, but only yesterday admitted he was finding the job "tiring".

And speaking with AS, sources close to Zidane admit he could walk away from the job at the end of this season. A third season, it is claimed, would be enough as far as Zidane is concerned.

The Real boss had always planned to sit down with president Florentino Perez at the end of the campaign to consider whether they should continue together.

And friends say the current feeling is that Zidane has had enough - and he is already eyeing the France post after this summer's World Cup.
