Zinedine Zidane claimed that Chelsea's favourite Jose Mourinho could not handle the pressure at Real Madrid following which he would be quitting the club soon.

Real Madrid legend Zidane believes that the pressure at Real Madrid is felt more as compared to other clubs and the expectation is that you win all of the matches and competitions.

In a report by Mirror, Mourinho failed to deal with the high pressure and expectations. He did not win which he admitted himself in a lot of interviews claimed Zidane.

Mourinho still has two games left in charge at Madrid but he has been forced out as a result of dressing room revolt, rifts among star players and an early Champions League exit.

Zidane however believes the coach will return to Chelsea and the disappointment because of failure will not affect his confidence and he will carry with trust in what he does.
