Cristiano Ronaldo spent two-and-a-half successful years working under Zidane at Real Madrid before jumping ship to Juventus in a £105million transfer this summer.
During that time the duo had a positive relationship, something that helped Los Blancos win the Champions League three years on the trot.
Ronaldo rates Zidane as a manager and, when the Frenchman walked away from the Bernabeu this summer, penned a classy message for the 45-year-old.
“I only feel proud to have been your player. Mister, thank you so much,” he said in an Instagram post.

Zidane named himself in the centre of the pitch alongside his old Real Madrid pal Claude Makelele.
Luka Modric, who he managed at the Bernabeu, also gets the nod alongside Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta.

And not the Juventus star.
Instead, Brazil icon Ronaldo lines up in the No 9 role with Neymar and Messi either side of him.
