A friend and former teammate of Zinedine Zidane has revealed that there's one individual that the former Real Madrid boss will never forgive.
Former France national team star Christophe Dugarry has claimed that Zidane will never forgive Marco Materazzi.

Eighteen years later, the incident is still talked about in many circles, with Materazzi himself continuing to speak about it on public platforms.
According to Dugarry, it due to this fact that Zidane will never forgive the retired Italian defender.
"Zidane will not forgive him," Dugarry told RMC Sport.
"Why would he forgive him? Materazzi has been talking about this for years. He laughs at it, he boasts of having managed to get Zidane to give him.
"Materazzi has spent his entire career hitting and doing stupid things on the field. He is a world champion, he has done incredible things, but in his interviews he always talks about Zizou, while Zizou never talks about him.
"Making peace with Zidane? You can wait until the end of your days. Zizou doesn't give a damn Materazzi, while Materazzi always talks about him.
"The number of people who promote themselves talking about Zizou... Zizou never talks. Materazzi, shut up! You just have to say that you don't want to talk about it anymore. But no, he still plays the role. We don't really care about him."
The head butt incident served as Zidane's final act in football, as he hung his boots following that tournament in Germany.
