Fabio Capello: Zidane can win the Champions League with Real Madrid

Fabio Capello has backed Zinedine Zidane to win the Champions League with Real Madrid.

Zidane has got off to a hugely impressive start since replacing Rafa Benitez as Real's manager, guiding his side to comprehensive victories over Deportivo La Coruna and Sporting Gijon.

Capello, a former Real boss himself, has backed the Frenchman to succeed at the Bernabeu, and believes that he's capable of taking his side all the way in Europe's elite club competition.

"He [Zidane] has the charisma to lead Real to the top of the table and above all to win the Champions League," the Italian told Sky Sport Italia (via Gazzetta World).

In order to achieve that aim, Zidane will first have to lead his side to victory over Roma in the last-16 of the Champions League next month.

As far as La Liga is concerned, Los Blancos are currently in third place, four points adrift of rivals and current leaders Atletico Madrid. Real, who have created 315 chances in the league this term, travel to face Real Betis on Sunday in their next La Liga fixture.

There was some initial scepticism following Zidane's appointment, particularly given his lack of managerial experience, but the club legend has fared rather well so far.

However tougher tasks await, and Zidane will have to prove his credentials over the remainder of the season before he can be considered as a genuine long-term option for Real.
