Real Madrid coach Julen Lopetegui will be happy if Zinedine Zidane returns to football.

Zidane has declared he is ready to return to coaching "soon".

Lopetegui, who succeeded Zidane over the summer, says he'd welcome the Frenchmans' return.

"It's a personal decision," he said.

"If he wants to train again, of course it's great news because he's a great coach".
