Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane admits there was no long-term planning over his current career.
Zidane has enjoyed a successful start to his coaching career.
“I never thought that I'd be a manager," said Zizou.
"When your playing career ends all you want to do is spend time with your family. I always liked being on the pitch, it's what I knew how to do. Everything else was foreign to me.
“Of course I'd love to play but that can't happen. I can't be out there on the pitch. It's a different buzz standing in the dugout. Now the pressure I deal with is different to being a player."
