Real Madrid boss Zidane includes Gareth Bale among 4 players he’s proud to have coached

Zidane is especially happy to have worked with Toni Kroos at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Speaking about the players he’s happy to have coached at Real Madrid, Zinedine Zidane told Real France: “When I arrived [at Real Madrid] I was happy to be able to coach Kroos.

“Of course, I can say that I coached [Sergio] Ramos, Cristiano [Ronaldo] and [Gareth] Bale and also Toni Kroos.”

Considering that Gareth Bale is no longer in his future plans, it’s interesting to see how much respect Zidane still holds for the Welshman.

He’s evidently been bowled over by Toni Kroos’ contribution during his sting, but still appreciates the work Bale has put in when dedicated enough to perform for Madrid.

However, the Welshman is slowly turning into a real problem for Los Blancos, as he has no problems sitting out the rest of his luxurious contract at the club unless Madrid lets him leave on his own terms.
