Zidane plays down Juve talk but offers no guarantees on Madrid future

The Hindu  

Zinedine Zidane accepts there is no long-term security as Real Madrid coach, though he denied being approached by his former club Juventus about a return to Serie A. A report emerged on Friday claiming that Juventus, for which Zidane played between 1996 and 2001 prior to joining Madrid, wants the Frenchman to replace Maurizio Sarri. "I am lucky to be able to live my passion, football, in this club," the 47-year-old said at a news conference on Saturday to preview Madrid's trip to Real Betis. Zidane remains unsure if the Belgium international will return to his squad before the end of the season, though he described Hazard as being in a more upbeat mood following surgery.
