The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international has revealed that he is taking his coaching badges at the moment and would like to move into management in near future
World Cup and European Championship winner with Les Bleus, the 40-year-old has set his sights on coaching the national side one day, and has taken the first step by joining the coaching programme at the French Football National Institute (INF).
Given the fact that Zidane is arguably the greatest French footballer of all time helping his side to World Cup glory over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 in 1998, the news will put extra pressure on current Les Bleus boss, Didier Deschamps, who knows that any slip up would give
media a chance to start touting for Zidane as the next French coach.
The 40-year-old, who is working as a special advisor to Real Madrid’s first team, has stated that he always wanted to move into management and the time is right to take the initiative in that regard.
While talking to the reporters, the former Juventus player said that he is looking forward to start his coaching career and has joined the coaching program recently.
Zidane added that he needs to pass his coaching diplomas first before thinking about getting professional coaching license.
"You have to start with something and I'll start this year. I will pass my coaching diplomas, and then we’ll see later on for the professional coaching license,” the former Bordeaux player told reporters.
On a question regarding coaching France one day, the 40-year-old admitted that he would love to coach Les Bleus in the future.
“One day why not; coaching this team [France] would be great.”
However, Zidane knows that France already have a coach and talking about that is useless at the moment. The Frenchman added that it’s not the time to talk about such stuff and he is focused on the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 at hand.
“It’s never the time to speak about it because there are always coaches in place, but you asked me the question, and you got my answer. I’ve got lots of other things to do beforehand. We’ll see how it pans out later.”
