Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has left the Spanish giants' pre-season training camp in Montreal following the sudden death of his brother, Farid.
According to the club, Zidane returned home on Friday, with Real Madrid revealing his brother's passing on Saturday.
"All members of the Real Madrid first-team squad held a minute's silence ahead of training in Montreal following the passing of Farid Zidane, the brother of our coach, Zinedine Zidane," Real Madrid said in a statement.
As a result, assistant coach David Bettoni has taken over the team's training sessions.
It's worth noting that Zidane returned for a second spell as Real coach in March, having resigned after winning a third straight Champions League title in 2018.
