Los Blancos confirmed the French tactician's departure last week, just days after the club lost out on the 2020/21 LaLiga title to crosstown rivals Atletico Madrid.
Benzema, who was previously quite vocal about wanting to see Zidane stay at the club, was sad to see his countryman depart for a second time.
"Zizou has always been behind me, supported, and helped to reach this level," the striker said, as per Goal.
"I will thank him every day. Of course, I am disappointed that he is leaving Real, because he is a great manager and has won a lot of trophies.
"On a human level, he is the perfect man. I would say the word magnificent even to describe it. But that's how it is, and life goes on."
