Zidane pushes Deschamps for Real Madrid job

Former AS Monaco coach Didier Deschamps is being linked with Real Madrid.
 
The Frenchman has been out of work since leaving Monaco earlier this season and is one of the rare high-profile candidates on Real Madrid's shortlist that is willing to take charge of the club in midseason.

It's understood Zinedine Zidane has recommended Deschamps to Real president Florentino Perez, who knows the Frenchman speaks Spanish thanks to his days with Valencia.

Spanish sources say Real Madrid won't make a decision until after this week's game against Racing Santander.
