The Portugese star was speaking after Real Madrid defeated Manchester City 1-0 on aggregate to maintain the club's push for a La Liga and UEFA Champions League double.
Zidane's arrival has coincided with a happier dressing room and he has guided Madrid to a 14th European Cup final after Wednesday’s win over Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu. They will be aiming to win an 11th European crown when they lock horns with rivals Atletico Madrid at San Siro in a repeat of the 2014 final. The capital club remain in La Liga contention, just a point behind title holders Barcelona and Atletico with two matches remaining.
Ronaldo once again pledged his unflinching support for Zidane, who is no certainty to carry on beyond the season at Real, a club notorious for changing coaches regularly.
“He’s doing a great job with the team. We’re all helping each other, it’s mutual,” Ronaldo said.
“I hope he continues. I admire him as a manager and as a person.”
Ronaldo added: “We’ve always had Zizou’s back, he’s humble, he knows how to listen and that’s always important.”
Madrid will now turn their attention to La Liga as they host Valencia this weekend.
