Zidane my dream coach: Hazard
London, Nov 10 (IANS) Chelsea star winger Eden Hazard has expressed his desire to play under Spanish football giants Real Madrid coach Zinadine Zidane and said he was “my dream coach and idol”.
“Zinedine Zidane would be a dream to have as a coach,” the Belgian international was quoted as saying by the Independent on Friday.
“He was my idol when I was little, I have a lot of respect for him,” Hazard added.
The 26-year-old Chelsea playmaker who has made 182 appearances for the London club since 2012 also said he is unsure about his future.
“Of course, I don’t know what will happen in my career in the future, but to play under him would be a dream,” the winger said.
“At this time, though, I’m happy at Chelsea. I still have a lot of things to do at Chelsea, and I’m focused on Chelsea,” Hazard added.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
