Zidane to 'return to coaching soon'

Enzo Zidane has confirmed this week that his father, Zinedine, will be returning to management in the near future. 

Zidane Sr had previously been tipped to take over at English club Manchester United in recent months, after the 'Red Devils' have hit somewhat of a crossroads under the tenure of Jose Mourinho. 

The Frenchman stepped down as the manager of Real Madrid at the start of the summer, just days after winning a third successive Champions League crown with the Spanish giants. 

In two and a half years at the helm, succeeding mentor Carlo Ancelotti in the hotseat, Zidane went on to win nine major honours in the Spanish capital. 

Son Enzo, who currently plys his trade with Rayo Majadahonda in the Spanish second division, is under the impression that his father has been reinvigorated by having time off.

In an interview with 'Diario AS', Enzo said: "'My father loves football and he loves to coach, this is clear. It seems likely that he will return to coaching soon but right now he is resting, and this is something that he needed to do." 

He added: "Managing Madrid was beautiful for him but it was also hugely demanding and involved a mass amount of work, so he is now recovering."

Enzo is one of four sons that Zidane shares with his wife Veronique.

All four started their careers in the Real Madrid academy, but Enzo is the second to last to leave for pastures new. 

The youngest son, Luca, remains at Real Madrid, and is currently fourth choice goalkeeper for the senior side.
