After a long year of struggles and loosing two of their great men,Real Madrid experienced one of their dreadful season much of the loss being their ouster from the Champions league
But that is a thing they want to forget the soonest possible and today, Real Madrid were back in training as Zinedine Zidane got his second spell in charge underway.
Zidane has sealed a surprising return to the Bernabeu just months after quitting following the Champions League success.
His first match in charge will be against Celta Vigo this weekend and he was reunited with his players for the session at the club’s training ground.
Zidane was seen sharing a joke with Karim Benzema while also showing signs of encouragement to Sergio Ramos.
But it his relationship with Gareth Bale that is under the spotlight following his return with words saying the two do not see eye to eye.
Bale looked set to leave the Bernabeu last season after growing frustrated with life under Zidane.
His snub for the Champions League final appeared the final straw and there are suggestions he will be moved on this summer.
Bale’s agent Jonathan Barnett has spoken about Bale’s plans and insists he won’t make a rash decision, just because Zidane is back.
He told ESPN FC that Bale would “wait and see” how things go from now until the end of the season before making a call on his long-term future.
It is suggested the Welshman’s future would depend on what Zidane and Florentino Perez have planned for this summer.
Zidane is a huge admirer of Eden Hazard and is expected to move for the Chelsea star, while Sadio Mane is another contender.
The likes of Christian Eriksen and Kylian Mbappe have also been linked with Real since Zidane’s return.
The Real boss is expected to be given a hefty transfer budget to strengthen his squad and is eyeing multiple reinforcements.
Should Bale leave Real Madrid or do you think Zidane will offer him time to play?
