Kombouare: French coaches full of pride over Zidane's Real Madrid success

Former PSG boss Antoine Kombouare says Zinedine Zidane has become an inspiration for French coaches.

Now in charge of Guingamp, Kombouare is delighted for Zidane over his success with Real Madrid.

He said: "It's a huge pride to see a French technician at the head of the best club in the world, Real Madrid. And above all to succeed.

"I am not only an admirer, but I am a big fan. He got his hands dirty, he was not afraid to go work with young players, to learn his job, to be patient, then he was an assistant too. Today he is the best in the world, I am not be afraid to say these words.

"Two Champions Leagues, last year he won the title. He sets the bar very high."
