Young left-back Sergio Reguilon was the first player to send a goodbye message to Santiago Solari after he was dismissed as Real Madrid coach.
Having played under Solari for Castilla, he became a regular first choice under the Argentinian, replacing Marcelo.
"Eternally grateful to the coach who trusted me to play in the Real Madrid first team," he posted on Instagram.
"As a professional and a person, I'm convinced that everything will go great for you because you deserve it, thank you for trusting me."
Before being promoted to the first team by Julen Lopetegui, he was sent out on loan to Logrones after featuring for Zinedine Zidane's Castilla side.
The second player to post a message of support was Vinicius Junior, whose situation also improved under the coach.
"Thanks for everything, coach!" he posted. "For helping me since I arrived, for the trust and the opportunities. God bless you, you deserve the best."

Solari might be unlucky on his Real Madrid mission, but we can't ignore the fact that, he gave Vinicius and Reguilon a chance and showed them the world and the world fell in love with them.Good bye Solari wish you luck on your next chapter
