Zinedine Zidane has accepts he is not going to be Real Madrid's version of Sir Alex Ferguson and recognised how fragile his position is.

The Frenchman, who orchestrated a 2-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach and Champions League progression on Wednesday night, understands the demand for the best at the Bernabeu.

It has been a tough start to the season for Real and they remain six points off leaders Atletico Madrid in LaLiga having played a game more.

After the much-needed win on Wednesday night, Zidane said: "I'm never going to be Madrid's Alex Ferguson."

"I want to enjoy and I don't know how long I'm going to stay here. I just think about how lucky I am to be here but I do not know until when! There are many years left in Madrid and I want to continue."

Ferguson was Manchester United manager for 26 years having been put in charge back in 1986.

He led the club through an unprecedented period of success, winning 38 trophies and Zidane realises that patience at Real is not something the club is known for.
