The 50-year-old is yet to make a move back into management after leaving Real Madrid, where he enjoyed a successful spell including three consecutive UEFA Champions League victories.

He also won the UCL with Los Blancos as a player in 2002.

The 1998 World Cup winner was recently linked with the France job, but the federation extended the contract of his former teammate, Didier Deschamps.

Zidane speaks on Messi-Ronaldo debate

Sports Brief also reported on Zidane being one of football's all-time greats, but also knowing a player who is better than him.

The former French legend once weighed in on the 'greatest of all time' debate, and his comments have resurfaced once again.

Zidane was previously asked to pick between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, and he explained who he believes is better.

Zidane hints at coaching return

Zidane has provided some insight as to when he will return to management, after being out of job since exiting his role as manager of Real Madrid, Sports Brief also reported.

The French legend last managed Los Blancos, where he vacated his position as head coach after the 2020-21 season, claiming there had been a disconnection between the club's top hierarchy and himself.

Since vacating his post, the former France midfielder has been linked with a number of high-profile clubs including Paris Saint-Germain, where he was considered as the favourite to assume the hot seat following the sack of Mauricio Pochettino.
