Andre Villas-Boas is set to take a year off from coaching, and Zenit duo Hulk and Axel Witsel paid homage to the Portuguese.
Hulk and Axel Witsel led the well wishes to coach Andre Villas-Boas as he bids farewell to Zenit.
Villas-Boas announced in September that he would be departing the club at the end of the Russian Premier League season, which concluded Saturday.
Zenit overcame CSKA Moscow to win the Russian Cup this month but was unable to prevent Leonid Slutsky's team deposing it as league champion.
Former Chelsea and Tottenham boss Villas-Boas had been linked with the coaching positions at Marseille and Valencia, but confirmed in April he will be taking a year off.
