Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has revealed that he was not initially interested in becoming a head coach once he had retired from professional football.
"I did not want to be a coach when I retired as a player, it was not something that interested me," Diario AS quotes Zidane as saying.
"I wanted to stop and do something else with my life, a new career but things change and I am happy to be in the position I currently am, it's a privilege.
"I spent two years as a manager (at Madrid's Castilla side) and three before that as a coach, so it has taken me five years to get to this level and prepare."
