"[Zidane] could be the coach," ESPN report. "He has the qualifications and he is a madridista. We have not yet thought about it because we have been very scrupulous with the steps. But he fulfils all the requirements, for sure."
The thought of Zidane headbutting an irate David Moyes on the Bernabéu sideline may have to wait though as Pérez suddenly remebered himself and suggested that the Frenchman may need some more managerial experience first.
"It is a subject we need to evaluate," he said. "In the first stage it is a little… I do not want to say risky, but he needs to be battle-hardened."
We can but hope. In fact Manchester United should hire Eric Cantona, Napoli should get Maradona on board and Stefan Effenberg should return to Bayern Munich and we could have the most memorable European Cup in years.
