Real Madrid coach Zidane: I want to stay

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is confident his job doesn't hinge on winning the Champions League.

Clear that he has always wanted to stay on at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu into next season, the Frenchman dismissed speculation over his future on Monday.

"It is independent of winning the Champions League: I want to continue at this club," he told reporters.

"But what matters to me is what we are doing now, how we play tomorrow against Bayern. The rest we cannot speculate about.

"I don't know if I can say I'm a better or a worse coach [than when he started]. Yes, I have more experience.

"There are many better coaches than me, but I have had the chance to live with this Real Madrid squad and do the things we have done."
