in june 2014, real madrid announced that zidane would be the coach of real madrid's b team, real madrid castilla. on 29 august, the director of the spanish national football coach education centre (cenafe), miguel galán, reported zidane for acting as real madrid castilla's head coach without the necessary coaching badges. according to galán, "no one who has anything to do with the football world can be unaware that zidane is acting as real madrid castilla's head coach this season. it is a fait accompli that has been widely accepted, as shown by media reports, and real madrid do not deny it." while the official match report for castilla's opening game in the segunda división b lists santiago sánchez as the "los blancos"' head coach and zidane as his assistant, galán states, "this hierarchy only exists on paper. the truth is the exact opposite: zidane is acting as real madrid castilla's head coach, while, with all due respect to him as a colleague, mr sánchez's role basically boils down to providing the badges."
