Ex-Real Madrid star Karim Benzema shared a warm embrace with his former coach Jose Mourinho as the pair were reunited at a boxing match on Friday.
The French striker and the Portuguese coach were both in attendance to watch Anthony Joshua beat Francis Ngannou in the showdown boxing match in Saudi Arabia on Friday evening. Mourinho stood waiting on his former charge and gave him a big hug, followed by a brief exchange of words.
Benzema scored 78 goals and provided 49 assists under Mourinho in 150 games. The pair spent three years together in Madrid as Mourinho was appointed head coach a year after Benzema moved to the Spanish capital from Lyon. They won La Liga, the Copa del Rey and Supercopa de Espana in that time and reached three Champions League semi-finals.
