French football legend Zinedine Zidane has revealed that he would be interested in becoming Real Madrid's head coach although he insisted that he is not in a hurry as the club already has an 'amazing coach'.

Zidane, Real's reserve coach, said that he would of course like to become the Spanish giants' head coach if the role is offered to him but added that once again there is an amazing coach in place.

Zidane said that he has got time, he is learning, adding that he did not become the player he was in two years, insisting that it's the same in coaching, Sport24 reported.

The former France midfielder, who helped his country win the 1998 World Cup on home soil, was current Real coach Carlo Ancelotti's assistant when they became European champions for the 10th time last season.

Zidane said that he has learnt a lot from Ancelotti and added that the Italian knows how highly he thinks of him. He insisted that Ancelotti is the perfect coach for Real, despite what people are saying.

Real are currently at the second spot in La Liga, four points behind Barcelona after losing the Clasico 2-1 at the Camp Nou on March 22, the report added.
