Former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon said that Zinedine Zidane rejected an offer to return to the club following their 4-1 loss to Ajax that knocked them out of the Champions League.

 "I know that this morning the president [Florentino Perez] called Zidane to ask him back, he said not now. He has left open the possibility of coming back in June," said Calderon.

Calderon added that there was no point in re-appointing Jose Mourinho.

"The first option for the president has always, always been Mourinho. But the problem is who is going to run the club in the office? They are talking of the possibility of Zidane or Mourinho - they are completely different coaches with completely different ideas of football. It is an erratic and whimsical president who has brought us to this situation. There is the option of bringing in Mourinho now, but to me there is no point."
