Real Madrid chief Zidane going back to school

Real Madrid chief Zinedine Zidane is going back to school.

Zizou is enrolled at the Centre of Law and Sports Finances at Limoges taking a two-year diploma.

Among the subject he must pass are 'Economy of Professional Sport' and 'Marketing and Communication of Club Brands'.

Course joint chief Gerard Coudier told The Sun: "Former players speak three languages fluently - they know what a player's contract is all about, they understand how agents and intermediaries work and they also know the limits.

"What characterises Zidane, a man completely successful in his life, is curiosity. He doesn't need to come here, it's not an imperative need.

"That shows that he comes here, curious and modest at the same time, because he wants to learn. It's a dream to teach someone like that."
