Zidane left La Liga’s club for a second time in his coaching career on 27 May after they failed to win a trophy during the 2020-21 season.
The Frenchman previously managed Real from 2016-2018 before returning 10 months later in March 2019.
"I'm going, but I'm not jumping overboard, nor am I tired of coaching," said the 48-year-old.
In an open letter to the fans, published by Spanish media outlet AS, he added: "I'm leaving because I feel the club no longer has the faith in me I need, nor the support to build something in the medium or long term.
“I understand football and I know the demands of a club like Real Madrid. I know when you don't win, you have to leave.”
Zidane said his 20 years at the Bernabeu were "the most beautiful thing that's happened" in his life and that he would "always be grateful" to Real president Florentino Perez.
