Zidane, who assisted Real Madrid manager Rafa Benitez initially, became a full time manager in January this year and has changed the fortunes of the club who were struggling midway through the (2015-16) season.
Zidane will be unveiling the project tomorrow, which will be followed by a media conference. “You never know who will win a competition like this”, he said on a visit to Mumbai, where he is a brand ambassador for a property development. “Even though we won the Champions League we have lot of hard work to do”, he said.
Calling the shots from the sidelines, Zidane led the Galaticos to their 11 European Cup after his side won the Champions League in a tense final against Atletico Madrid at the San Siro in Milan. “The target is to improve myelf day after day”, he said. “I hope they win the cup but even if they don’t they have to give a good fight”, Zidane said at an event here. There will be no tension among the players.
“It’s a bonus to play in your own country”.
“Belgium for example are a brilliant team with lots of individuals”.
“I don’t think they will be under any additional pressure playing at home”, he added. “With all the fans it will be like having a 12th player in the team”, he said.
