Real Madrid have confirmed that Zinedine Zidane has been cleared to continue in his role as assistant coach of the La Liga's reserve team after the club successfully appealed to the Spanish Administrative Court for Sport.
"Real Madrid CF communicates that the Administrative Court of Sport (TAD) has considered the appeal presented by the club, which allows the Real Madrid Castilla manager and assistant coach, Santiago Sanchez and Zinedine Zidane respectively, to carry out their professional activities," read a statement released by the club.
Zidane was banned in October from coaching for three months - along with the man he assists, Santiago Sanchez - after he was found to have taken the role without the necessary coaching qualifications.
Real Madrid insisted that he had been licensed by the French Football Federation to coach the Castilla side who play in the Spanish third tier.
The ban was initially suspended pending the hearing of their appeal and has now been overturned.
