Real Madrid: imminent outcome for Zidane
A white season at Real Madrid? We had not experienced this since the 2009-10 fiscal year. Despite a semi-final of the Champions League and a breathtaking suspense in La Liga, Zinédine Zidane did not bring a trophy to the Casa Blanca. The question of his future has been on everyone's lips for several weeks. "I will discuss with the club the next few days, quietly", evacuated the French coach on Saturday after the coronation of Atlético de Madrid in front of Real. According to
L'Équipe
, a meeting will take place between Zidane (48) and its president Florentino Pérez in the coming days. But within the club, pessimism would reign: "Zizou" should go away "except for an extraordinary last minute turnaround", writes
L'Équipe
.
His name is circulating emphatically at Juventus, his former club, where Andrea Pirlo is on an ejection seat.
As for a successor to Real, Massimiliano Allegri, without a club after 5 years at ... Juve (2014-2019), would be in the small papers of the Spanish leaders.

OM: Sakai announces his departure (official)
As expected, Hiroki Sakai will not extend his contract at Olympique de Marseille. The Japanese right-back (31), at the end of his contract, said his farewell in an Instagram post on Monday morning. “Dear supporters of OM. At the end of the season, I decided to leave Europe and put an end to my Marseille dream, wrote Sakai. Indeed, when I arrived in Marseille, I had decided that OM would be my last European club and I did not change my mind.

" Arrived for free in the summer of 2016 from Hanover, Sakai could bounce back at the Urawa Red Diamonds, Japanese club in the city of Saitama, according to the local press.
Guardiola sends (already) Agüero to Barça
FC Barcelona will strengthen in attack this summer, but we do not yet know with whom.
The arrival of Memphis Depay, at the end of his contract in Lyon, is far from complete.
That of Sergio Agüero, at the end of his contract at Manchester City, seems a little more advanced.
And it is not Pep Guardiola, coach of the Citizens, who will say the opposite.
“He will play with the best player in history, Lionel Messi.
I think he will adore and especially make my club of heart, Barça, more and more strong with him on the ground ”, released Guardiola, former player then coach of the Blaugranas between 2008 and 2012, at the microphone of the
BBC
.
Top scorer in Manchester City history (260 goals in 389 matches), Agüero, who will soon turn 33, has always been close to his Argentinian compatriot Lionel Messi, who has still not signed a contract extension at Barça .

Garcia, Ursea, Gattuso ... cascading trainer departures (official)
The season being over for many clubs, there is no need to keep secrets that everyone already knows. Thus, Rudi Garcia confirmed that he would not continue in Lyon. "I wanted to leave the club by leaving it in the Champions League and this is not the case, regretted the former technician of OM and Lille on Sunday, after a final defeat in Nice (3-2). It's been a long time since I decided it myself, because I cannot continue to work and to improve the club under these conditions. " In Nice, we leave on much better terms with Adrian Ursea, who will have provided a long interim after the dismissal of Patrick Vieira last December. "The professionalism and human qualities of Adrian Ursea and his assistants have enabled the entire group to resume its forward march",thanked the Aiglons in a press release. Finally, in Naples, it stops there for Gennaro Gattuso. “Dear Rino, I am happy to have spent almost two seasons by your side,” Neapolitan President Aurelio De Laurentiis wrote on Twitter. Held in check by Hellas Verona (1-1) on Sunday, Naples missed the qualification for the next Champions League and is content with a 5th place in Serie A synonymous with the Europa League.5th place in Serie A synonymous with the Europa League.5th place in Serie A synonymous with the Europa League.
