SPLIT, Croatia, May 14 (Reuters) - Dinamo Zagreb coach Zvonimir Soldo stepped down immediately after the Croatian champions completed the domestic double with a 3-0 aggregate win over Hajduk Split in the cup final on Wednesday.
"I told club director Zoran Mamic I could no longer carry on under the present circumstances," Soldo told a news conference after Dinamo held Hajduk to a 0-0 away draw in the second leg.
The local sportnet Web site (www.sportnet.hr) cited strained relations between the pair as the main reason for Soldo's resignation and tipped his predecessor Branko Ivankovic as the most likely candidate to take over.
Soldo, a former Croatia and Vfb Stuttgart defender, replaced Ivankovic in January and steered Dinamo to 13 wins, four draws and only one defeat in both domestic competitions.
Dinamo sealed their 10th Croatian league title last month with six games to spare to add to the four championships they won in the former Yugoslavia.
