New Real Madrid No2 Zinedine Zidane says he's eager to learn the ropes this season. Zidane has been named Carlo Ancelotti's assistant for the new campaign.

"I am like everybody else. I like it like that, it's the other guys that want me to be special. I do it like everybody else. I know that being a good player doesn't make you a good coach. Even if it can help," he told L'Equipe.

"You have to accept that you don't know much and to accept that if you give yourself the means, you can grow and learn even at my age. I have to be modest, I ignore so many things. I'm glad I did those courses. Sometimes I went to bed with a headache. Coaching is a real job, you have to learn it.

"Tomorrow people will say I'm a good coach if I win. Only if I win. It will take time. I cant be the coach I want to be just like that. Zidane or not Zidane, it will take time. You have to learn form other people, to pass diplomas. There is a process. And it suits me."
