Zidane suffers Real Madrid Castilla defeat on coaching debut

Zinedine Zidane has suffered defeat on his coaching debut with Real Madrid Castilla.

In their Segunda Division B opener on the weekend against Atletico Madrid B, Zidane's Castilla lost 2-1.

Raul Tomas had fired Real ahead, but they collapsed after halftime as goals from Dani Aquino and Samu Sainz saw the visitors win 2-1 on the opening day of the new season.

The result marked Zizou's first official game in charge, having taken on the Castilla at the start of preseason training.

The Frenchman remained standing on the touchline for the entire 90 minutes, issuing instructions to his young team.
