Zidane reveals coaching ambitions

Former Real Madrid and France midfielder Zinedine Zidane has revealed his plans to go into coaching.

The 39-year-old, who hung up his boots in 2006, currently works as a sporting director at the Santiago Bernabeu.

"Sooner or later I will get closer to the pitch," he told radio station France Info.

"I will want to transmit my experience. I won't invent something new, but that is what I know best and what I can do best.

"But I have time. I'm not in a hurry. I don't have personal ambition, only the wish to learn things and that is the direction I want to take in order to develop."

Zidane won the World Cup and the Champions League during a glittering 18-year playing career.
