Zinedine Zidane will not be able to lead the reserve team of Real Madrid for three months. The French football legend received this penalty because he did not have the necessary coaching qualification. The suspension was proposed by the referee of the second division of Spain, Francisco Rubio.
The case of Z.Zidane began to be investigated by organizers in August when a rival coach filed a complaint. The former midfielder holds a UEFA A license, which is equivalent to the second qualification in Spain.
However, in order to lead the Real Madrid reserve team, he needs a third-level qualification.
Real Madrid released a statement defending Z.Zidane and stating that they will use all legal means to challenge this decision.
"The club has done everything, and now I will do the same to defend myself," Z.Zidane told "La Figaro."
He believes that such words are a blow.
The assistant of Z.Zidane, Santiago Sanchez, also received the same penalty. Sanchez tried to cover the legend with his license.
