Zinedine Zidane reveals that he is "taking a break" from football following his decision to stand down as Real Madrid boss.

Zinedine Zidane has revealed that he is "taking a break" from football following his decision to stand down as Real Madrid boss at the end of last month.

The 45-year-old led Real Madrid to a third straight Champions League title last season before stepping down as head coach of the Spanish giants.

The former midfielder has been linked with the France job, while the Qatar national team are also believed to be interested in speaking to the Frenchman.

Zidane, however, has said that he has no plans for the future as he takes some time away from the sport.

"Right now, I am taking a break," Diario AS quotes Zidane as saying. "I do not know what I will do after, because at the moment the most important thing was the decision that I took. The future? We will see."

Zidane won 104 of his 149 matches in charge of Real Madrid between January 2016 and May 2018.
