Zinedine Zidane: Don't compare me to Pep Guardiola
Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane says comparisons with Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola are wide of the mark.
The ex-Real midfielder, 43, replaced Rafael Benitez on Monday, prompting suggestions his elevation echoed that of Guardiola's at Barcelona.
But Zidane said: "You shouldn't make comparisons with me and Guardiola. He has achieved incredible things."
Guardiola, an ex-Barca player, managed the club's B side before guiding the first team to unprecedented success.
Under Guardiola, Barca won 14 trophies in four years, including the Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey in his first season.
Zidane, a World Cup winner with France in 1998, coached Real's B team prior to his promotion following Benitez's sacking.
His first game in charge of the first team will be Saturday's La Liga match against Deportivo La Coruna at the Bernabeu.
