Former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon claims that his successor, Florentino Perez, was to blame for Zinedine Zidane's resignation at the end of last season.
Zidane left his position in May after winning a third consecutive Champions League title. Two months later, Cristiano Ronaldo also left the Bernabeu to sign for Juventus.
Calderon claims that Perez's insistence on selling Ronaldo instead of Gareth Bale, with whom Zidane did not get along, was one of the main reasons why the Frenchman resigned.
"Zidane made it very clear when he decided to leave the club," said Calderon, quoted by Sport.
