Fantastically, starting his coaching career at Madrid's "Real" team, Zinedine Zidane will continue his work in the Spanish capital for a long time.
In January of last year, the legendary Frenchman who took over the reins of the royal club won two Champions League trophies, triumphed in the 2016/17 La Liga season, and in two UEFA Super Cup matches.
The former midfielder will not only enjoy the trust shown by President Florentino Perez but also a salary that is twice as high.
Until now, the specialist was earning about 4.35 million per season, but will now receive around 8 million euros.
About the new contract AS reported earlier, and tonight Z. Zidane himself spoke about the new agreement.
"My history with Madrid's 'Real' is deeper than just contracts or signatures. I am happy to have been associated with this club, but this contract still doesn't mean anything. You can extend it for 10-20 years. I know where I am now and what I am doing. In a year, I might not even be here anymore.
"I am very happy that Madrid's 'Real' showed confidence in me. I am very happy to be able to work so successfully with my coaching staff. Our goals always remain the same: to try to win every game and every title. We really enjoy our work," Z. Zidane said at a press conference after signing the new contract.
The new strategist's contract is valid until the summer of 2020, and the Frenchman will start the new season with his team tomorrow in the Spanish Super Cup tournament, where the Madrid team will face Barcelona.
