Real Madrid Castilla boss Zidane explains turning down Bordeaux

Real Madrid Castilla coach Zinedine Zidane has explained turning down Bordeaux in the summer.

Zidane has kicked off his coaching career this season in Spain's Segunda Division B.

"I spoke with Jean-Louis Triaud, who came to Madrid to discuss things. He was clear, he told me I wouldn't be able to bring in many players. After I took my decision I did not regret it. I want to continue with Castilla this year and then we'll see. I have ambition and I have an objective to take charge of a team in the top division. To look after a group like this is hard work."
