Zidane, 48, said: “It’s not, the only thing about me is that what I do, I do to the end, and then there comes a time when it’s the moment to change.

“For everyone, not just for me. For the club, for the good of the club, for the people. 

“I don’t leave because it’s easy. It’s not like I turn away and don’t look back. No, there are moments when you have to be there and there are moments when that’s it, it’s finished, it’s time to change. But for the good of everyone, not just for me.”

Despite an up and down campaign, Real Madrid are still fighting to win the La Liga title.

But local rivals Atletico Madrid have the upper hand with a two-point advantage with two games remaining.

Zidane came under intense pressure after a humiliating defeat to third tier minnows Alcoyano in the Copa Del Rey in January.

An upturn in form in the second half of the season earned him some breathing space.

However, some questionable tactics as Los Blancos were knocked out of the Champions League by Chelsea in the semi-finals raised some doubts in the Spanish capital.

Zidane has refused to commit his future to the club and his latest comments only increase doubts over him remaining at Real Madrid next season.

He said: “I can only say the same thing. I don’t know what will happen. I’m here now, yes, and tomorrow we are going to play. Then we will have one match left. 

“The rest, I don’t know what will happen. This is Real Madrid. I don’t know if it’s a strength but I am always about the day to day. It’s always been like this.”
