After 15 Years.. Zidane Comments on His Historic

French star Zinedine Zidane commented on the famous incident in the 2006 World Cup final when he headbutted Italian player Marco Materazzi. Following his infamous "headbutt," Zidane received a red card in the second half of extra time, before Italy won the match in a penalty shootout. In a statement to "Football Italia," Zidane said about the incident: "I have never been proud of what I did that day, but it is part of my past." Regarding the goal he scored in that match against Gianluigi Buffon, Zidane said: "I had a second or two to think about how to do it. I was facing a goalkeeper who knew me well, but I did it anyway." Radio "Monte Carlo" confirmed that Zidane has made a decision regarding coaching Paris Saint-Germain. The radio reported on Sunday that Zidane aspires to coach the French national team after the current coach Didier Deschamps steps down. The radio confirmed that Zidane does not plan to coach PSG this summer, but he has "not closed the door" on coaching the French champions at some point in the future.
