Ex-Real Madrid chief Remon questions Zidane appointment

Former Real Madrid sports chief Mariano Garcia Remon is unimpressed by the appointment of Zinedine Zidane as assistant coach.

Zidane has been named Carlo Ancelotti's assistant for the new campaign.

"To be the coach of Real Madrid requires a special responsibility," the 62-year-old told Marca.

"It's a very complicated, they expect results. It is premature to say that 'Zizou' will coach Real Madrid.

"Everyone's talking about Madrid, and under this pressure, the coach still has to make important decisions. All coaches will have added pressure at Madrid, more than at any other club."
