Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is looking forward to testing himself against Al Hilal counterpart Ramon Diaz.
The two will clash in the Club World Cup final in Morocco.
Ancelotti said: I remember he was a great striker and played for top clubs.
"He was physically strong and played with intensity in matches. He was always a positive figure in all the teams he played for, everyone remembers him well. I'm delighted to see him again. We've faced each other many times as players and this is the first time as a coach.
"I'm going to greet him warmly because I've got fond memories of him."
