Zidane Next Career :.....Club President !
Football legend Zinedine Zidane admits he is ready to make his return to the game. However it will not be on the pitch or bench, but in the boardroom.
The 1998 World Cup winner left the game in shame just over two years ago when he headbutted Marco Materazzi in the dying moments of extra time in the World Cup final, seeing a red card for his troubles and watching his side lose on penalties.
Zidane now spends his time playing in charity matches and helping good causes, but he is itching to return to the big time.
Those who want to see him back on the pitch maybe disappointed though, as the former Juventus and Real Madrid man appears to be leaning towards a more executive stance.
"I am ready to return to football and enter the heart of a club," Zidane told Canal +.
"However, not as a coach but maybe like a director or president."
Zizou enjoyed a glittering career where he won major titles as a player.
Despite his cloudy past, the legendary status he enjoys is likely to see clubs like Real Madrid come running.
