Zidane was said to have acquired the property last year, however, the current situation stopped him from leaving their primary home to visit his secondary abode.

The French-born tactician was said to have escaped being pictured, else, he would have been slapped with a fine of about £1,350 from Spanish police.

The Sun reports that Madrid remains in Phase Zero until midnight tonight.

Another report claims the manager was not the only culprit to have broken the rules of Phase Zero. Gareth Bale was spotted flouting the guidelines to play golf.

The Welshman is believed to have done so the weekend after Real Madrid basketball player Trey Thompkins tested positive for coronavirus.

The Argentine has been out of job since last November after parting ways with his former Premier League side barely six months after taking them to their first Champions League final.

While leaving the North London side, he was said to have signed a deal preventing him from taking any EPL job for a period of six months, and that appears to have expired this week.
