Zidane to coach Real B

REAL Madrid says Zinedine Zidane will coach its B team ­— Castilla — next season after the French great spent the last campaign as Carlo Ancelotti’s assistant with the first squad.

Zidane, 42, will coach a team that was relegated to Spain’s third division last season, Real said yesterday. The Frenchman played for Cannes and Bordeaux in France and Italy’s Juventus before joining Real Madrid in 2001 and retiring at the age of 34 after the 2006 World Cup. He returned to work for the Spanish club as a consultant in 2010, and took his first coaching job under Ancelotti.

Zidane had recently been linked with the vacant managerial job at Bordeaux, but elected instead to stay at Real where he is regarded as one of the club’s finest ever players.
