Zidane to officially join Real Madrid this week

Zinedine Zidane is officially taking up his post at Real Madrid.

The former World Player of the Year will be at the Santiago Bernabeu for Real's clash with Real Valladolid before next week taking up a position on the club's football board.

Zidane has shunned the prospect of having an office and instead will be on hand to meet with directors and discuss their technical plans.
