thanked those at Real Madrid for allowing him to work at the club and wished
his successor Zinedine Zidane luck for the future. Read the statement after the
jump...
He wrote:
"Now, at the end of my time as
first team coach of Real Madrid, I would like to use this article to say
goodbye to everyone at every level of the club. I want everyone at the club
from the board of directors, executives, workers and all of the fans, know that
it has been an honour and privilege to be in charge at this club where I grew
up as a person, player and coach from the lowest categories through to the
first team.
"As a Madridista from Madrid,
steeped in the traditions and values of this institution, which I learned in
the old sports city of Castellana, it has been an honour to work for these
colours. I would especially like to thank everyone at the new sports city and
the Santiago Bernabéu who since my first steps through the door have supported
me and made my work easier. Thanks to all for helping.
"With all that I have said still
in mind, I would like to wish good luck to Zinedine Zidane, my successor, and
his staff. To all the players, coaches and staff in both Valdebebas and
Bernabéu, I wish all the best and also good luck.
"With all my respect and thanks...
HALA MADRID & NOTHING ELSE. "
