Zinedine Zidane indicated today that he wants to stay at Real Madrid next season.
But Reals coach admitted his future will depend on results, with his team sitting third in La Liga, 15 points adrift of Barcelona, and relying on the Champions League for a major trophy this term.
Zidane had previously stayed guarded over his desire to remain at the club but appears now to have declared his hand. Real travel to Las Palmas in the league on Saturday.
"Yes, I would still like to stay as coach of Real Madrid," Zidane said. "Here we depend on the results, it has not changed, it will not change, it is the requirement of this club and I accept it.
"I've been here 18 years, I how Real Madrid functions," said Zidane, who arrived at the club in the summer of 2001.
"I do what I like doing, I do it thoroughly and if the question is, do you want to continue? Then yes I will continue. I do not feel tired, not at all."
"We hope to take second place, little by little," Zidane said. "Of course we have our minds on Tuesday but tomorrow we have a match and to execute on Tuesday, we have to execute well tomorrow."
