Martin Odegaard is happy to see Zinedine Zidane return to Real Madrid.

Odegaard, who is on loan with Eredivisie side Vitesse, says the news was a very positive surprise.

"I didn't think Zidane was going to return so soon, but I think he's a perfect coach for Real Madrid," he told AS.

"He can make a good group again and create something very good. I think it's very positive.

"I think it could be positive for me because he knows me and can have an idea of what I can give to the team. I know him well and we have a good relationship."
