Michel Platini believes Zinedine Zidane should kick off his career as a head coach at Monaco.
Zidane
is currently working as Carlo Ancelotti's assistant at Real Madrid and
has been spoken of as a potential successor to the Italian at the
Santiago Bernabeu.
However, Platini believes that his fellow
French legend is now ready for a top job and believes that the Stade
Louis II would be an ideal place for the World Cup winner to cut his
teeth, given Les Rouges et Blancs are backed by Russian billionaire
Dmitry Rybolovlev.
"If Zinedine wants to be a coach, it's good to start with Monaco," Platini told L’Equipe. “It is a good club that has means.
"He has spent a year with Carlo Ancelotti at Real. So, he's ready. If he wants to do the job, he has to take the step.
"And if he wants to take charge of the French national team one day, it's better that he starts with a club.”
Indeed,
Platini claimed that Zidane does not lack ambition and feels the former
Madrid attacking midfielder has what it takes to become a top coach.
"I have spoken to Zinedine and I know that he wants to commit himself,” the Uefa president continued.
“He has a name, he's intelligent. He'll be a very good coach."
