Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is driving their bid to bring Luis Campos to the club.

The former Monaco sports chief is currently a free agent.

Telefoot says Zidane wants to bring back the role of sporting director, the individual seen as being in charge of identifying signings and the make-up of the squad, at Real Madrid, and has identified the man he wants in the job: Portuguese Luis Campos, who was an assistant to Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid in 2012-13.

Zidane is said to have recommended his signing to Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez, who is currently seen as de facto sporting director at the club, in the absence of such a post.
