The cryptic messages sent by Zizou about his future during his press conferences are being taken as a hint of departure.

Zinedine Zidane's term as Real Madrid coach might be nearing its end, but not because of pressure from fans and experts.

The former Ballon D'Or winner, who's led Los Blancos during one of their most successful eras in team history, would be set to leave the team by the end of the season, according to Marca.

Sources fueling this report claim that it wouldn't be a surprise if Zidan presented his resignation by the end of the season, since he's not willing to withstand pressure from fans and experts after winning every trophy out there as Los Blancos' boss.

The report also states that this wouldn't be the first time in which Zidane pulled off a move like this one, as he called it quits from his playing career in similar fashion back in 2006.

Added to Zidane's doubts to continue with the club, the report also states that Real Madrid's hierarchy is thinking about performing a major overhaul on the team's roster, which would see several veterans leaving the club. If that was the case, Joachim Löw and Mauricio Pochettino would be the club's top choices to replace Zidane.
