“Now I am ready to have the experience of coaching Madrid again,” he said. “They have given me the chance to be in this club once more, this club that I love very much.”

Zidane who received a call from Real Madrid’s president Florentino Pèrez to be reinstated as the club’s coach after the former Santiago Solari was cleared off his duty, is happy to return back to his team.

Real Madrid suffering embarrassing counts of losses recently has spiked up the need for action in the club. The highest time Champions League winner team has been knocked out of the Champions League by Ajax, beaten thrice by their top league competitors Barcelona, who also eliminated them from the Copa Del Rey and hanging in the third position next to their rival Atletico Madrid.

“I left the club because I needed it, for me, though at the time the club did not,” he said. “Since I love the president, and the club, I am here. After eight months, I want to coach again.”
