Cristiano Ronaldo says he is “proud” to have played for Zinedine Zidane after the Real Madrid coach announced his shock departure.
Zidane stepped down from the role on Thursday, less than a week after Madrid beat Liverpool in Kiev to win a third consecutive Champions League title.
In a social media post, Ronaldo was quick to pay tribute to departing Madrid coach Zidane.
“I’m just proud of being your player,” Ronaldo wrote on Instagram. “Mister, thanks for so much.”
