Real Madrid coach Ancelotti: I wish Zidane was still playing

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti admits he wishes Zinedine Zidane could still play.

Ancelotti has named the Frenchman his No2.

"He'll be on the bench. The problem is that he can't play... (laughing). Zizou has been a fantastic player and he has now decided to assume the role of manager. I'm very happy to work alongside him. He will be a great assistant, apart from Paul Clement, who is my usual assistant, and Giovanni Mauri, who will be the fitness trainer," said Ancelotti.
