French football legend Zinedine Zidane was ready to take over the reins of the "Real" team, but did not receive such an offer.
A few weeks ago, it was announced that the dismissed Carlo Ancelotti would be replaced by "Napoli" strategist Rafa Benitez.
Let's remind that a year ago, the former midfielder worked in the coaching staff of the royal club when the jubilee Champions League trophy was won.
"Yes, I would definitely have agreed to become the successor of the Italian. I am a professional and I never refuse challenges," Zidane said.
"But I am not disappointed that Benitez was chosen instead of me. Management felt that my time had not yet come – these things must happen naturally and should not be rushed," the legend spoke.
