The Spanish press has this morning reacted to Zinedine Zidane's open letter about his departure from Real Madrid last week, with one outlet detailing a 'fractured history' between the Frenchman and club president Florentino Perez.
Zidane resigned as Madrid boss for the second time last week and on Monday he penned a fiery open letter directed towards Perez in AS, insisting he 'wasn't given the trust he needed' to build for the future.
And on Tuesday, the same paper gave further detail on what was described as a 'fractured history' between the pair, including what was perceived by Zidane as a lack of backing in the transfer market last summer.
The paper adds that Zidane's unhappiness was exacerbated in January, with the final straw coming after the Champions League semi-final defeat to Chelsea last month.
Criticism of Zidane's team was the trigger for his decision to leave the club, according to the report.
Similarly, Marca report that Zidane claims he was not respected during his final weeks in charge - and criticised Perez once again.
Zidane did not hold back in his open letter on Monday, writing: 'I'm leaving but I'm not abandoning the ship and I'm not tired of coaching.
'In May 2018 I left because after two and a half years of so many victories and trophies I felt the team needed a new plan to stay at the highest level. Today things are different.
'I'm leaving because I feel that the club didn't give me the support I needed, it didn't offer me the support the construct a project for the medium or long term.'
Zidane departs Real for the second time as one of their greatest ever coaches, winning an unprecedented three consecutive Champions Leagues between 2016 and 2018 plus the 2017 and 2020 LaLiga title and two FIFA Club World Cups.
Ex-Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti is reportedly among the contenders in line to replace Zidane, as is club legend Raul and ex-Inter manager Antonio Conte.
