Details about how Zidane informed his players that he was quitting the club have since emerged.
According to Spanish publication Sport, Zidane told Madrid captain Sergio Ramos in person that he was going to resign as manager. He then broke the news to the rest of his squad with a WhatsApp message.
The message reportedly read:
"Thanks for everything. Without your support in the hardest moments, none of what we have achieved would have been possible. We'll meet again soon, a hug."The report claims that Gareth Bale was the only Real player not to respond. The Welshman and Zidane are understood to have fallen out last season. Zidane wanted Bale to track opposition full-backs and help out in the defensive side of the game, but the forward felt he shouldn't have to and was subsequently dropped. The former Tottenham Hotspur star didn't post a message on social media about Zidane after Thursday's press conference. The Frenchman's departure may mean Bale remains at the club, despite speculation linking him with a transfer to Manchester United.
