Real Madrid coach Zidane calls surprise press conference

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has called a previously unannounced press conference for 1100 GMT on Thursday just days after winning the Champions League for the third year in a row.

“At 1pm, Zinedine Zidane will appear before the media,” the club said in a statement, without giving details about the reason for the press conference.

Zidane, 45, had been under pressure to win the European crown after finishing way off the pace behind La Liga winners Barcelona.

Real beat Liverpool 3-1 in the final in Kiev on Saturday, making Zidane the first coach in history to win three successive Champions League titles.
