Zinedine Zidane will make his final club appearance today for Real Madrid against Villarreal.
The fans are planning a tribute to Zidane, and Real coach Juan Ramon Lopez Caro and Villarreal coach Manuel Pellegrini combined to pay tribute to the French master.
Lopez Caro said: "Zizou is an example in his way of doing things. To find someone as good as him you have to go back to previous generations.
"He is the best in the world, also as a person.''
Pellegrini said: "It's an honour and a pride. He has been a star and a gentleman in all respects.''
However, the Chilean coach claims the club will not be trying to give Zidane a winning send-off but will be playing the role of party poopers.
Pellegrini said: "We always go onto the pitch with a winning mentality whoever we are playing and especially at a place like Real Madrid although we will be no more motivated for this match than we would at any other.''
