Zidane wants to take Real Madrid scouts with him to Bordeaux

Real Madrid assistant coach Zinedine Zidane wants to take two of the club's scouting staff with him to Bordeaux.

Zidane is expected to be named new coach of Bordeaux next week after Saturday's Champions League final.

Le Parisien says Zidane wants to add Stéphane Paille, who currently scouts players for Real, and David Bettoni, the club's chief opposition scout, to his backroom team at Bordeaux.

Zidane has also received assurances from the club's owners, television channel M6, that he will be given the funds to strengthen the squad.
