Zidane open to position as France coach

The former playmaker has admitted that he would be tempted to take the job if the opportunity to take the reins of the national side were to present itself.Real Madrid sporting director Zinedine Zidane has revealed that he would be interested in taking the position as France national team coach in the future.The former France international ended his playing career in the summer of 2006, but returned to football in June 2009 when he was named advisor to Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.Zidane was appointed sporting director at the Santiago Bernabeu side earlier this year, and the Frenchman now appears to have coaching ambitions as well."Whether I'd like to be coach of Les Bleus? Why not! That wouldn't be a bad thing. Everything's possible in life," Zidane was quoted as saying by Le Parisien.France are currently coached by Laurent Blanc, who replaced Raymond Domenech after the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.Blanc's men sit first in Group D of the Euro 2012 qualification campaign and need just four points from their last two games, against Albania and Bosnia-Herzegovina, to book their ticket for next year's tournament.
