Real Madrid won the Champions League title for the third consecutive time under Zinedine Zidane last week.
Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has called for an unscheduled press conference at 12 PM BST (4:30 PM IST). According to various reports, Zidane may talk about his future at the club. The press conference will also be attended by Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.
Zidane replaced Rafael Benitez in January 2016, and since led the club to three successive Champions League titles. He became the first manager to do so. He also won the La Liga title with Real Madrid in 2016-17. Zidane is yet to lose a cup final with Los Blancos.
Here are some of the reactions to the sudden announcement from Real Madrid:

Imagine if Zidane walks away.. how do you follow that reign? An already difficult job made impossible from Day One.

Zidane left as a player a year before his contract was finished. He doesn’t give surprising press conferences. There was a meeting yesterday between Zidane, Florentino Pérez and number 2 Jose Angel Sánchez to discuss future of players and agents were told…

… they would hear from Madrid after that. There was no suggestion Zidane was leaving but the impression we have is that he might announce his departure. So far nobody has been able to confirm

Rumours are gathering pace that this press conference has been called & Zidane is set to announce he is in fact bald.
