The French superstar met with president Ramón Calderón and sporting Pedja Mijatovic in the Spanish captial to discuss if there could be a role for him at the Bernabéu.
In a private meeting, Zidane met with the Madrid officials and was accompanied by his agent, Alain Migliacio, and explained hs desire to go back.
"I want to return to football to help in any way I can be useful and Madrid still feels like my home," AS quote him as saying.
Calderón was already aware of the Zidane's desire having spoken to him on the phone as the two have known each other since the midfielder's arrival from Juventus.
In an interview with L'Equipe recently, the 35-year-old said he wanted to be back in the game but did not know in what way.
While Madrid were considering him in a ambassadorial role, Zidane is reported to have told Calderón that he misses the day-to-day involvement and would like to coach the junior players.
Both his children play in the Madrid youth teams with Enzo in the Infantil B side and Luca learning the game in the Benjamin B team.
The suggestion that he could return to playing looks to have been dismissed as Zidane was linked with a move to Major League Soccer last year.
