Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti has paid tribute to former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane.

Ancelotti says the Frenchman transformed his idea of football when he coached him at Juventus.

"At Juventus, Zidane changed my idea of football.

"Zidane changed everything, because I put the team around him, I made a custom-made suit for Zizou, I changed my style of football, I owe everything to him," said Ancelotti, who admits his time with Real was his most memorable.

"The eight years in Milan stand apart from everything else, but if you want to know the truth I'd stay with Real Madrid, Real Madrid is Real Madrid and every coach should have the opportunity to work in a club and a city like that."
