Zidane has identified Luis Campos, the Portuguese who was an assistant to Jose Mourinho at the Bernabeu in 2012-13, according to a report in Telefoot.

Madrid president Florentino Perez is currently de facto sporting director at the club, in absence of such a position, but 51-year-old Campos is believed to be wanted after leaving the position at Monaco last summer.
