Real Madrid have confirmed the death of manager Zinedine Zidane’s elder brother Farid, with players and staff holding a minute’s silence at their training camp in Montreal after their manager had flown back to see his sibling.
It is reported that Farid lost his battle with cancer on Saturday morning, after Real boss Zidane had left Canada urgently on Friday on learning that his brother’s condition has deteriorated significantly.
