Former Real Madrid striker Raul says he was surprised when he realized that former team-mate Zinedine Zidane had decided to continue his coaching career.
Zidane took over management of the youth team of Real Madrid from 2014 to 2016, before becoming head coach of the first team in the middle of last season.
Raul, who played with Zidane at Real between 2001-2006, says the Frenchman was "introvert" and was surprised when he realized that would have entered the world of trainers.
"Zidane? I was surprised. The tip was closed. I do not know. I do not see as a coach. Sometimes see players to discuss various aspects of the game with others and he did not do, "said Raul for" AS ".
"But it was a process. He was in different parts of Madrid, then was Carlo Ancelotti ... finally decided to become a coach. He went to Castilla and the opportunity came. Now they are all happy and I can say that from the moment I see it more as a coach, "added the Spaniard.
Zidane in his first season with Real Madrid as coach won the Champions League.
