Zidane vows to win silverware this season... as new Real Madrid boss

The 43-year-old World Cup winner and former Real and France superstar was unveiled by club president Florentino Perez on Monday evening after the Spanish giants confirmed that Benitez had been relieved of his duties just 25 games into his reign.

Speaking at a brief press conference, which finally got under way almost half an hour after the scheduled start time, Zidane said: 'I want to thank the club and thank the president for giving me the opportunity to train this club.

'It's the best club in the world with the best fan-base in the world. I want to do my very best to ensure that this club at the end of the season will have a trophy.

'I will be working hard with all the players and I think it will go well. I am looking forward to working with everybody tomorrow. Tomorrow is when the work starts.

'Thank you to everyone. It is an important day for me, it's an emotional day, even more emotional than the day I signed as a player for the club.

'I will put all the heart I have into this job for the club. Thank you very much.' 

Addressing Zidane Perez said: 'This is your club, this is your stadium. And you have all our support. From this moment, you are the trainer of Madrid.

'I know that the word 'impossible' does not exist for you.'

Zidane, however, has no experience of top level management, with his only taste of coaching coming from in charge of the club's 'Castilla' B-team who play in Spain's Segunda Division.
