When Zinรฉdine Zidane retired, he said he'd never be a manager and it wasn't in his plans. But after two years out, he missed football a lot. I think he retired a little bit early, he could have gone on for at least another season, and it would have been a pleasure for us to have him.
Michel SalgadoWhen you retire, you start to try different things and you choose the one you enjoy the most. As a player, it's difficult to know if you'll be a good manager or not because you might think you can't deal with the dressing room or won't enjoy the game from the sidelines. There's also punditry and careers on TV, so football gives you many different options.

Michel SalgadoI can tell some names that played with me at Real Madrid and there's so many legends, everything is there. You know Roberto Carlos, Fernando Hierro, Raul, Zizou, Figo, Makelele, Ronaldo - the big one! - and Cristiano Ronaldo afterwards...pick any of those guys and you'd have an incredible team.
Michel SalgadoI follow F1, of course. For us, in Spain, Fernando Alonso has been the real turning point. It's not easy for a driver to win two world championships and it was unbelievable for Spain to have someone that could do that for us. Since that time, I've been following him and supporting him.
