Zidane eyes return to football
France legend Zinedine Zidane has revealed he would love to return to football in some capacity.
The 35-year-old retired from the sport after his red card in the 2006 World Cup final defeat to Italy, which followed an injury-plagued season at Real Madrid.
He has since taken time out from the game and done charity work, but the former Juventus star feels a return could soon be on the cards.
'When you stop football there is this break which is really pleasing,' he told L'Equipe. 'But at a given moment you feel something is missing.
'A return to football really attracts me. Later I will tell you how and in what way.'
Zidane, who is one of only four players to win 100 caps for Les Bleus, also expressed regret at the way his career ended.
In his last-ever game Zidane - who earlier in the same match had become the fourth player to score in two World Cup finals - was dismissed for headbutting Italy's Marco Materazzi.
'I would have wanted to leave in another manner,' he added. 'But it's done now.
'It's good to talk about it again to close the debate once and for all.
'I'm going to keep that with me all my life.'
