Zinedine Zidane has spoken about the possibility of one day managing Juventus.

‘Manager of Juventus one day? Never say never, but I’m happy where I am now,’ he said.
‘I learned so much in those five years, I’d never left France before and they welcomed me like a family,’ the 45-year-old told Football Italia.
Having guided the Spanish side to Champions League glory over Juventus last season, he has the chance to torment his former team again.
