Zidane Returns as Real Madrid Coach



Zinedine Zidane has returned as Real Madrid manager just 10 months after leaving the Spanish giants. The Frenchman replaces Santiago Solari, who was in charge for less than five months. Former Real midfielder Zidane, 46, who left in May after leading the club to a third straight Champions League trophy, has agreed to take over until 2022, the club announced.
Real Madrid are currently third in La Liga, 12 points behind leaders Barcelona. Solari was sacked after a 4-1 win over Real Valladolid on Sunday, which followed a shock Champions League exit to Ajax.That 4-1 home defeat and 5-3 aggregate loss to the Dutch side was the final straw for Real president Florentino Perez.
In an interview with supersport, Zidane said he has returned because he loves the team.
"It's a special day for everyone," he said at his presentation. "I'm very happy to come back home. I don't have anything to say, I'm very happy to be back and I want to work to put this club back where it should be.
"I left because a change was needed at end of last season, for the good of everyone, as they had won so much. I returned as the president called me, and I love him, and this club. After 8 months, I was eager to return to coaching. At the end of [last] season, I made the decision for the good of everyone."
"It's a great responsibility. All the players here love this club a lot, and I am one more, I played with this badge, I won a lot of things."
Zidane led Madrid to three consecutive Champions League triumphs and nine trophies in total before he stepped down in May last year.
