Real Madrid striker Benzema talks Zidane and Ancelotti

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema admits he's disappointed with Zinedine Zidane's resignation.

Benzema was convinced Zidane would stay, stating so publicly before the coach walked away.

He told Marca: "es, of course, it was a surprise for everyone, not only for me. But certainly, he has always been like a big brother to me. Because I have known him for a long time and he has helped me both on and off the pitch. It was a difficult decision for everyone. Now we have another coach and we are going to try to be successful again."

On Carlo Ancelotti's return, Benzema added: "It is good news, we know him well, players and fans. He is a great coach. I like his philosophy, how he sees football, how he manages the group and how he leads the team. And he wants to win all the titles."
