Zinedine Zidane Faces Three Months Ban For Coaching Without The Required Coaching Badges

Zinedine Zidane faces a ban from coaching after being reported to the Competition Committee by the
Spanish Football Federation's Coaches' Committee for working as Real Madrid Castilla's head coach
without the necessary coaching badges.




According to MARCA sources, Alberto Pérez Calderón, the lawyer in charge of the case, is proposing a three-month ban for Zidane and his
'assistant' coach at Real Madrid Castilla, Santiago Sánchez Martín.





The latter's suspension would be for allowing another person to work in a coaching capacity. Given that Article 104 of the Disciplinary Code carries a one to six-month ban for coaching without the relevant badges or lending badges to another coach, the judge has proposed meeting in the middle and banning both the Frenchman and Santiago Sánchez for three months.




The evidence presented by the Coaches' Committee has played an important role in handing out a ban.



As previously reported by MARCA, said evidence included videos showing Zidane working as a first-
team coach during training, as well as publications from Real Madrid's own website in which the club
refers to the Frenchman as their main coach. It is also noteworthy that Zidane's salary is significantly
higher than Santiago Sánchez's.
