"When they want me to do things, and if I can, then we can do them. I want to return to football.." - Zidane

Florentino Perez would have little trouble convincing Zinedine Zidane to return to Real Madrid in some capacity if he wins the club's presidential elections, but there would be no coaching role involved.

Zinedine Zidane has reiterated his desire to work for Real Madrid, but ruled out becoming a coach or a club director as he only wants an ambassadorial role at the moment.

The French superstar is tipped to make a return to the Bernabeu in some capacity if Florentino Perez enters and wins the club's presidential elections this summer.

Working in a role where he would represent or advise the club would be fine for Zidane, but he has no plans to replace Juande Ramos at the helm or take a seat on the board.

"I would love to be an ambassador," he told L'Equipe. "There is a possibility that he could return and we will have to see what happens.

"When they want me to do things, and if I can, then we can do them. I want to return to football.

"But just because someone has been a great player, that does not mean that they will then automatically be a great coach or director."

Zidane has been reportedly asked by Perez to help persuade a number of transfer targets to join the club, including Franck Ribery.
