Zinedine Zidane could make an immediate return to football as the coach of the Bangladesh national team.

The French legend, who is in the country at the invitation of 2006 Noble Prize Laureate Muhammad Yunus, has declared his interest in coaching the national side.

Zidane whose retirement was surrounded by controversy after his sending off in the World Cup final has no interest in playing again, according to The New Nation Newspaper.

‚Ç£I am not interested in playing here," said Z|idane.

‚Ç£But yes, I am interested in training the Bangladeshi team.‚Ç¥

The appointment of the three times World Footballer of the Year award would be a big coup for Bangladeshi football.
