For now, we only know that Zidane left Real, but very little is known about the specific reasons for that decision.
Today, Marca is trying to answer the question of what was going on behind the scenes.
It seems that some of the reasons for this decision of Zidane were ongoing contract discussions with Sergio Ramos and Lucas Vazquez and the strain of trying to compete on all fronts.
However, as revealed in Marca, the decisive event was the half-hour meeting between Zidane and Perez at the Hotel Carlton in Bilbao before the match against Athletic Club.
At that meeting, the most important decisions about the future of the club and Zidane were made, according to what Marca writes.
The question is who will have the necessary authority and charisma to replace Zidane?

Indeed, Koeman has not been able to give the best for Barcelona, but since Koeman handled it, I have seen Barcelona's performance has improved.
We can't get instant results, Laporta should give Koeman one more season. To make Barcelona return to its best form it takes time. After all, Barcelona
have to pay inexpensive compensation if they have to dismiss Koeman before his contract expires. And as you said Barcelona changing with another
coach does not necessarily immediately experience drastic changes, so it's not a good idea to lay off Koeman.

To become the champion of any team, it is desirable to play successfully all season, and not only or only the middle or only the end of the season  In any case, Barcelona did not play well at the beginning of the season and in the end it was not enough for the coveted championship. I like to look at beautiful stories when a team fails the first part of the season, and then heroically makes its way to the top or even becomes a champion, but it is much more reliable without excessive heroism to take your points in matches with teams lower in the class and without any hassle to do the result, the good composition of Barcelona quite allows it. I had a bunch of questions for Koeman as head coach at first, but I'm not sure if the second half of the season gives him an indulgence for next season. However, everything is in the hands of the club's management.

Me 2 i am still not convinced of what is happening in Barcelona administration, there have been lots of lack of clarity between Laporta and Koeman,
If he wants to work in the best possible way, he must first get support in front of everyone, and this is what the current Barca administration did not show. If you see in Koeman the wrong man to train the team in the future and want to change him, why do not you hasten to make the decision as soon as possible and give the new coach more time that will be useful for his future work in preparing a market for sale and purchase according to what he sees and according to his opinions and philosophy This will guarantee a greater success rate for the next season;
As for if the Barca administration wants to keep Koeman, why not go out to the public and say frankly to the match that the Dutchman will remain, which is the basis for this future project . because such hazy behavior will put the team’s season in danger of fatal distrust.
Likewise, all the news and conversations from time to time about engagements inside Barça is a very stupid and reactionary matter from the team’s media and also from the administration. Every moment you hear about a new player close to Barça and then disappear into the mirage of rumors and only the audience is affected. Months ago, everyone was talking Laporta will repeat Neymar in his first big steps that he promised, and then their talk about Haaland's father and the player's proximity to Barcelona It is still only Messi's file that if not renewed with the team, it will be a blow to this administration in this short period.

Although Barcelona could play well at the beginning of this season, it doesn't guarantee winning the La Liga title. Barcelona might play worse in the mid of the season or towards the end of the season. So, you cannot conclude Barcelona winning the title if they played perfectly at the beginning of the season. However, if Barcelona can play better at the beginning of the season, Barcelona probably ends the season with better achievement.

Agree, at first I was also unhappy with the way Koeman let Suarez go and then looking at the Barcelona situation at the same time was very bad. But over time we can see the progress Koeman has made and it does take time. So there is no more good reason to replace Koeman, because after all, defending him would be better because the adaptations that are already underway will definitely make the strategy that will be implemented later that might put Barcelona on the winning track.

So far, Koeman saved Barcelona from a humiliating mid-table position. The team before him was crap, useless with a bunch of loosers. After he came, although I disliked him first, I find that he did what should be done but you cannot make magical things with oldies. The team has to get a fresh update which is in the way. I don't think switching him with another manager will make things better while keeping the same players. Anyway, the team might improve with him right now.

Meanwhile,  according to ESPN, Wasserman, a company that represents Koeman isn't happy with his current situation at Barcelona especially with the statements that Laporta made in today's press conference. This is what they had to say


 

I agree. Barcelona can make use of a much better manager. They need to gather themselves up and they need new and better players also. Conte is available for teams but it seems like he is closer to Real Madrid. Xavi might be a good choice as he is one of the legends of the club. But I hope that his end doesn't become like Pirlo's at Juventus. 

If we have patience and believe in Koeman, I think he will be able to organize the Barcelona team more beautifully. But Koeman should look at the small mistakes of the team. Barcelona have lost many matches against weaker teams due to their own mistakes. In addition to organizing the team properly, the players also need to correct such small mistakes.

Laporta and Koeman's situation will probably lead to some wild rumors about his future at Barcelona. But I think it's good for Barcelona because I really hope Koeman won't spend his contract period at Barcelona. Barcelona need a coach who can raise their morale which is starting to weaken, which mean they must get rid of Koeman and find a replacement as soon as possible. I might want to see Xavi coach the team, but that probably won't happen any time soon.

I agree. Acceptable. I'm still personally not super convinced about Koeman but I believe that we all need to exercise patience with a manager and allow him to have his strategy in place. Look at Pep look at Klopp and learn the lessons of successful clubs at England. Barca have been in need of a rehaul since a long time now so we might as well do it with the Dutch national hero.

You are right. The start of the season was not good for Barcelona. If the start of the season had been good for them, then Barcelona would have been the champions of this season. The Barcelona squad has young and talented players, Barcelona will become stronger if the youngester will become experienced. Barcelona now need some experienced defender. They will not be able to win the title next season without improving the defense system.

When Koeman took charge of Barcelona, ​​at the start of the season, Barcelona was a team that was completely upset. There was no coordination between the players. Koeman has stabilized the team enough. Aguero has joined Barcelona this season. As a result, one more experienced player has grown in Barcelona's forward lineup. If Koeman is able to make Barcelona's defense a little stronger, Barcelona will be unstoppable next season.

Koeman has worked hard and I think the results from his first season is acceptable. Fans want to win as many titles as possible but in the last summer, I did not believe that Barcelona will be able to win any title in this season.

They won Coppa del Rey and want to win La Liga. They should be realistic with what they have and how they began this season.

Conte is a strong man and in his career, he has done good works from Juventus to Italy, Chelsea, Inter Milan. He has done his management impressively and won some trophies. I think Conte, Simeone and Mourinho are similar coach in their tactic as well as psychological warfare method. They force their players to contribute their best ability.

Mourinho tend to fall down in his career in last years but he is still one of top coaches. He will be a coach of AS Roma. Conte leaves, Mourinho joins.

Don't worry, he is a professional and top coach. There should be no problem with chemistry with the players. Moreover, we know that Conte is a typical coach who is friendly to the players. So far, I never heard that Conte has a problem with the chemistry with his players. I believe Conte is the ideal option to replace Zidane's position as the coach.

As Allegri is not available from now on, Conte will be the number one option for the manager position at Real Madrid. If I'm not wrong, this will be his first job at Real Madrid if he reaches an agreement with them. I wonder if there will be a nice chemistry between the manager and the players then.

This is the second time Zidane has made the decision to leave Real Madrid, although this season Real Madrid did not win a trophy but he managed to lead Madrid to finish in 2nd place in the La Liga standings, in my opinion Zinedine Zidane has done a good job in Madrid so far and of course it will be very difficult to predict which club he will coach next season because a coach like Zidane will definitely make big clubs want to work with him, currently Real Madrid management has not decided who will be the coach next season, but considering Real Madrid as one of the big teams, of course a coach like Masimiliano Allegri and  Antonio Conte is the right choice to handle Real Madrid next season.

So far, rumors are rife that Zidane is leaving Real Madrid. Neither Real Madrid nor Zidane have said anything about this topic yet. If he really leaves, Real Madrid will face terrible problems now. At the moment they will not get an experienced coach like Zidane. Maybe Real Madrid needs to find an experienced coach like Zidane, if they can't, they need to make their squad more stronger. Otherwise, Real Madrid will not be able to win any title next season.

The news about Zidane's departure I think will be a problem for Madrid. Even as a fan I didn't want him to leave. Because many media have reported that he will leave after this season is over. Real Madrid management deserve to keep it. The best thing is to sit down together and brainstorm what will make him stay in Madrid. I hope management is able to hold it,  for another 1 or 2 years. As long as he is still productive for the team he should be kept.
