Vanderlei Luxemburgo hopes Cristiano Ronaldo will not prove obstructive to Zinedine Zidane at Real Madrid.
Former Real Madrid boss Vanderlei Luxemburgo has backed Zinedine Zidane to be a success at the Santiago Bernabeu - providing he is not undermined by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Luxemburgo spent an 11-month spell at Madrid in 2005 as part of a nomadic career spent mostly in his native Brazil.
He is confident former France midfielder Zidane will succeed but believes he needs the backing of influential striker Ronaldo.
Luxemburgo told Omnisport: "Zidane was a leader in the dressing room when he was a player, so Cristiano Ronaldo will have to understand that there will be a person with leadership and with great knowledge of football there.
