MADRID (Reuters) -Real Madrid's Zinedine Zidane joked that he was "not a disaster" as a coach and said he was not bothered by the fact that he had not yet been given a new contract with the club.

Despite a remarkable trophy haul in his time in charge of Real, the Frenchman has frequently been dismissed by some sections of the media as a lucky coach who lacks the tactical knowledge or leadership skills of his contemporaries.
